It might be worth adding that I don't live in America, but in a far away part of the world that is different in many ways.
Many times I have noticed people shutting down discussions, where the purpose of interaction is to discuss, with dismissals such as "Fucking Feminazis" or "Typical Social Justice Warriors", with the conviction that it is perhaps acceptable to publicise any discriminatory attitude whatsoever because free speech and because free speech so there. This type of response means nothing, is purposeless, advances conversation in no direction whatsoever. The problems of conducting a classroom are relevant to classrooms, I just wonder how relevant they are to other interactions.
I think people should aim more for judgment free spaces rather than safe spaces
it's dragging everyone else into responsibility for it that is the problem
Interesting. I haven't thought of it and realize I am largely unaware of how tenure is helpful. Perhaps we should leave universities to govern themselves?

I find the idea that SJW culture is akin to a religion very interesting. I think that it is more like a cult though in that it alters the fundamental way that its members think. This is not to say that their values are inherently wrong, but that there are more important things, such as free speech. In addition, being someone who is undergoing CBT, I can say that the SJW culture does in fact go against everything CBT stands for.
This is a great video full of interesting findings. It's important to understand your own leanings. Self-awareness is key.
