I laughed out loud when someone was talking about “not feeling safe” in class anymore.

We need the story on that one.

Well, basically we were talking about the nightmare at Evergreen college (which someone posted here about a couple of weeks ago, I believe), and this person got very upset when I disagreed with the students in that scenario and then this person started going off about how I was infringing on her “right” to feel safe, at which point I just started laughing my ass off at the very notion that there was such a thing.

I tried looking it up but I have no idea what keywords to use. Several years ago, there was a drama-queen who was acting up on an airplane, and when the airplane landed, the airport cops came to arrest her, and she kept screaming "I don't feel safe!" and the cop was just like "........???" Like, honey, you're about to be arrested, it's normal for you to not feel safe right now. You weren't worried about feeling unsafe when you made hundreds of people feel unsafe on the plane. But she kept repeating that fucking phrase. Because her feelings are important, but everyone else's feelings are irrelevant.

And how in the world was the person you were interacting with "not feeling safe?" It's not like you were going to lunge at her and beat her ass in the middle of the classroom?

That's the thing with these people, every little discomfort is a form of "violence." It's not about physical safety, it's about emotional safety. What they fail to understand is that at the most basic level, the only person who is 1) responsible for, and 2) even capable of deeply impacting your emotional health is yourself. But that's too much work, so it has to be everyone else's problem instead.
