DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Snowflake Watch: Safe words for safe spaces

Citizens have 911. Employees have the EEOC. Distressed sailors have the Coast Guard.

But what do America’s college students have? Where can they turn when they find themselves outside campus “safe spaces” and suffering a “microaggression”?

Fortunately, the University of Arizona has an answer. It recently distributed a 20-page booklet suggesting to faculty that when a student is victimized by a microaggression the appropriate response should be saying “ouch.” And the correct response for the offender should be saying “oops,” according to the guide.

“If a student feels hurt or offended by another student’s comment, the hurt student can say ‘ouch.’ In acknowledgement, the student who made the hurtful comment says “oops.” If necessary, there can be further dialogue about this exchange.”

The guide was authored by Jesus Treviño, vice provost of the big taxpayer-funded university, whose salary reportedly is $214,000 per year.

For those unfamiliar with the apparently epidemic scale of microaggression and thus not able to spot such offenses, the booklet offers a definition: Microaggressions are “the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”

The University of Arizona isn’t the first to suggest the “ouch”/”oops” protocol. Iowa State University, among others, has also urged a similar approach.

Ouch.

Oops.

You mean like "Deep State"?

Per Reddit a month or so ago: Republicans are the biggest snowflakes, they're white, they're cold, and if you put enough of em together they'll shut down public schools

Well according to 40 News, they are also organized. Guess
that is why your side LOST.
Sit back now and let the grownups fix this Country for you.
You will get another chance to bring it down in the future.

Oops.

No wonder the Country is going down the tubes. Yeah we need to teach the kiddies to run and hide when they don't like something they hear. How about something new? Like Reading, Writing and Rithmatic?

Why Oops? Whatever happened to Kiss my Butt?

Hey kid, give me your wallet or I will say something offensive!

I think they should have a 10 minute dark alley rule. I could fix a lot of republican problems with that rule.

Back to blasting them in the face again?

Yeah, cause that has worked so well over the years. If it hadn't been for all the libbers pushing their agenda or the highway all these years we Repubs wouldn't have to push back.

the country has apparently been going down the tubes since 1776.

you do more whining than the kids who need safe spaces.

Why you skeerd again? LOL! I can see why because you are all bark and no bite. But I like you anyway because your such an easy target.

You know I'm not threatening anyone, yet you do your best to twist things up all in hopes you can get me banned again. That's how you operate, all slithering like. ~~~~~~: But it's all good man, your still my pal.

Somehow, I missed this post of yours.

Just how would you "fix" a lot of republicans in a dark alley?

I'm interested in your answer to that question. If you won't answer it, you're as full of crap as my cats litter box.

Spell it out: How would you "fix" republicans, in a dark alley? I'm sincerely interested.

Banned again. Your words.

Hey, let's meet. I'd prefer it to not be in a dark alley, but if that's your desire, so be it.

How would you "fix" me?

C'mon now arch, really? Guess I'm full of crap because we both know what happens between two guys that disagree in a dark alley and I'm not spelling anything out for you if you don't. And I'm talking about what happens between two guys that disagree in a dark alley, not two republicans.

Da hell you talking about?

You point blank said you'd like to meet meet a republican in a dark alley for 10 minutes.........and you would "change" them.

Don't back it down. Stick to your statement.

Ah............we both know what happens to guys that disagree in a dark alley?

What the hell are you talking about? There's only 1 way to take your statement. Violent much? Threaten much?

And you'd kill someone on a dark alley because they are a republican? Speaks worlds of info about you.

And your little smiley doesn't change anything.

last time i checked, when somebody refers to meeting someone in a dark alley for 10 minutes, it means to handle it old school and fight.

it's no different than in the military when our NCO's tell us to go behind a connex and solve our problems.

Let me spell this out:

40 posted a story about the “ouch”/”oops” protocol.

I said they should have a 10 minute dark alley rule instead in a post commenting on the article. I then tongue-n-cheek added I could fix a lot of republican problems with that rule since there was some lib bashing "Snowflake" crap being thrown around. I didn't call you out, I didn't call 40 out. But you seem to have an issue and need to know how far you can push me. Well, I just told you to chill and explained I have to problem with you both here and in a pm, so chill.

You want to keep pushing until I say or do something to get banned yet again and that's not going to happen. You guys think you can bash libs all day long and we'll just take it, well you are wrong.

And for your information, I'm not afraid to meet you and your threat doesn't scare me at all. Your chest thumping is for nothing though because as I explained it was in reply to the OP's posted article and the "Snowflake" comments.

Violence is the Neanderthal way. Its no small wonder that liberals are less evolved.

I don't want anyone banned. What the hell are you talking about?

I'd love to meet you. I'd love to meet most people that post on here.

Clarify for me - or spell it out - what "threat" did I make to you?

Yeah, I just went back and re read the last page of posts. Where did I threaten you? I guess I'm missing it. Or, is that the lib's way?

If I threatened you, let me know. quote it so I can see it.

I don't have a side, I'm smack dab in the middle. I voted Dem, Rep, Libertarian, and even a Green Party candidate.

BTW, we ALL lost.

That's why those rich conservatives guys are always doing murder suicides, right? And starting wars.

My bad, "crimes of passion". Cause conservatives made a PC term for it.

You made no threat, we are cool. Just not following each other I guess.

Or the thugs in the ghetto.

Or the hillbillies with their meth labs in the sticks.

In Atlanta its the thugs in the ghetto 24x7
There are 120 gangs full of neanderthals in Atlanta

Well, I wish you wouldn't have said I made a threat in the first place.

Or witches on brooms. Or people that post about the gay thread...

What did this devolve from? A neanderthal vs. liberal comparison? wow... lol

In the sticks it's hillbillies 24x7

Full of Neanderthals. I don't blame em. Gotta keep that gene pool pure. If it ain't a cousin, it gets no lovin

I apologize, see your PM again.

Pretty much. You know conservatives don't like change, bro. They want to de-evolve to flinstone kinda stuff.

How would you know, youve never lived in the sticks.

Or the white guy (if race plays into this) that went to Archbold schools, who just, 2 days ago, broke into his ex girlfriends/son's mom's house, and shot her, and took the kid.

James Ramey. The murder happened in Delta Ohio. Predominately white town. He went to school here, lived in Toledo. Had a kid with some girl in Delta. Threatened violence to her.

She did what she could under the law - got a restraining order. She's dead. Didn't work out so well for her, did it.

Course, at age 27, weighing about 150 lbs, and on his facebook page, showing how "ripped" he was, bragging about how tough he was, and a lot of rap videos/lyrics.........well, I guess he'll find out how tough he was.

He killed his son's 23 year old mother, because she got a new boyfriend.

I don't even know where I'm going with this........sorry.

Nah bro. The GOP is very compassionate, just look at the proposed healthcare plan; they want poor people to die faster so they don't suffer as long. Same reason they are trying to take food from senior citizens by killing meals on wheels.

And they don't see the since in educating wage slaves because stupid slaves are more blissful, see? That's pure compassion.

That's a sad story though...
