I love this college response so much!

In case you didn't know, there is a movement on college campuses to create what's being called, a "safe space." 


The definition of this, according to Urban Dictionary, is;

A place where college students can go if they have been subjected to ideas that differ from the progressive narrative.

Wiki says:
In educational institutions, safe-space, safer-space, and positive space originally were terms used to indicate that a teacher, educational institution or student body does not tolerate anti-LGBT violence, harassment or hate speech, thereby creating a safe place for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.  The term safe space has been extended to refer to a space for individuals who fee marginalized to come together to communicate regarding their experiences with their perceived marginalization, typically on a university campus.

Everybody is offended by something, aren't they? I have a whole list of things that offend me. But I deal with it. Most of it is just part of life. It always has been. I've been the victim of sexual harassment - the asshole in question, lost his job because I stood up for myself. I've been discriminated against because I have boobs. I've been discriminated against because I'm not young. I've been physically assaulted. All of those things were unpleasant but they didn't define my life or stop me in my tracks. It's never been a Utopian world and it never will be.
