Well during the AIDs crisis, a teacher from Minnesota knew about the misinformation going around and the fear mongering happening with students who didn’t come out to their parents though their friends & school faculty accepted them for who they are so he set up the first school safe space program.
The reasoning behind the decision was so the school didn’t fall to fear mongering and treating people different just from existing… You can’t change your sexuality, you are born that way though through years of self discovery the truth comes out… I’m reminded of Rob Halford who was able to hide his sexuality since in the 1980s a studded all black leather biker was the traditional ‘masculine image’ so it allowed him to hide. The student body helped those homosexual individuals feel comfortable in their own body and being open about their sexuality which is a good thing.
In times of crisis we tend to attack, belittle, and defame people though by keeping rational thinking alive it truly helps strengthen the community as a whole & makes it more compassionate and understanding.
*My message is this, spread kindness & compassion & acceptance not one of bullying & name calling & resentment. I’m a white heterosexual male and even I get it.
funny thing is, those who are saying "no" to safe spaces being removed have no issue with the manosphere or other male spaces ended up on the terrorist watchlist
boy-scouts, sports, video games, comics etc. have all been infiltrated to become more tone policed and "inclusive" lmao. oh no, someone called me a "mean" name during Call of Duty, time to cancel them
right up until the trans issue of modern 4th wave feminism, women's spaces were being gatekept while men's spaces had to leave their doors wide open but feminism is supposed to be about equality, am I right?

Feminism has never been about equality, it’s always been about advancing a female agenda forward at all costs. Feminism is responsible for the destruction of the family, children without fathers, berating masculinity, creating a disconnect between men. Basically feminists have taken over every aspect of society not least of which is educational institutions, they have promoted Marxism, promiscuous sex, homosexuality, transgenders and that women should not have babies.
The outgoing Canadian prime minister could be the new leader, he self declared himself as a feminist. He can advance the Marxist agenda he failed in doing in Canada. High taxes, abortion on demand, transgender surgery on 4 year olds can happen in this feminist utopia, it would plunge into chaos so fast. There would be waves of people begging 🥺 to return to the “tyrannical patriarchy” the is America 🇺🇸
You're right, no one should have a safe space anywhere, if you need such a thing, you're a weak loser.
No one is ever supposed to have a space where they can seek guidance and help, or share their emotions - talking about emotions, those are also for the weak, for women. Strong as men don't suffer from such a thing which is another reason safe spaces is for weak ass losers.
Funny how you ended up crying about racism and how big of a victims you men are for not being able to enter your imaginary safe spaces and are simply being blamed for everything. Poor little thing, you sure you're not needing a safe space here?
@sage2021 by reading his replies. But you're right, everyone is just throwing that word out there except for you of course, at least if you can't see it
No, it keeps them from becoming maladjusted and unable to express emotions aside from anger.
There is nothing wrong with having safe spaces, especially for kids, so they have a place they can go to calm down and come back with a clear mind to talk out their thoughts and differences.
We give our son a safe space when he needs it to calm down and he's a boy. Men need it just as much as others do. It doesn't have to be a gender thing.
If that's the case then it needs to change, like overnight. Every person deserves to have the right to calm down, go somewhere and catch their breath and come back rational. Not saying it can happen in EVERY situation, but it should be an option in a lot of them.
I think you are getting a little offtopic here, but for the sake of argument...
I don't think they teach white people are evil. They teach history and history has had minorities oppressed and white people have not faced that same kind of oppression typically. Now yes, some Caucasians were made slaves so that's not a thing owned by minorities, but RARELY were those slave owners minorities.
I think they should absolutely be able to teach history in its truest form and not cover up inconvenient truths because it makes white specifically uncomfortable.
And as for your 2nd statement, the main point of safe spaces is what I've already said, but for your comment those groups do face a lot of criticism and could use a place where they aren't bombarded with more negativity.
No. I don't see a problem with them, and there are safe spaces in the "real world" too because we make them.
Many people believe that home should be the most safe space. Are you suggesting we should not allow home ownership in order to force all families into a more unstable space of renting and having a landlord who controls their home and what they can do in it?
Places of worship are also safe spaces. Do you suggest we should force those to be made public so that anyone can enter at any time, granting special membership is not allowed, and they may no longer hire their own security people or own their own building either?
The world is dangerous, but there have always been safe spaces inside it, carved out by humans who both need and grow stronger by utilizing them.

No I’m referring to the places in Universities and schools that coddle students
I have no problem with students getting seeking help from a religious leader or school councillor. We all have problems we need to work through. I’m talking about these woke “safe spaces” that promote victim hood and anti-male sentiments and promote the idea that European men are colonizers, trespassers, rapists and thieves
Chapels aren't just for seeking help with a problem. They're supposed to be a place of rest and even inspiration and instruction. Many teach that you will be persecuted for your beliefs, and that mankind is the fault of most or all bad things in the world. This lines up with what you seem to dislike a lot more than some hypothetical group that doesn't seem to actually exist in any mass organized capacity.
We all hold different views but we do it without being a threat to others. Why don't you write a mytake and spell out your views clearly and how you'd like to deal with those you oppose.
Then let me make it clear. I believe people like you would like to round up groups you don't like and exterminate them. I believe the reason you spread hate is to dehumanise people in order to make your sick fantasys come true.
@purplepoppy Quote "I believe people like you would like to round up groups you don't like and exterminate them" end quote. What led you to believe he wants to do that? 😂🤣😂🤣I'm kind of dying to know myself.
It's just a thing that happens naturally. Some more organic others do try to cultivate. A home should be a safe place, fuck we even got castle doctrine to protect it. Not every one feels safe at home. they should but going on a different topic.
Another safe space is with a lawyer. You got a constitutional right for a zealot advocate. Does it make you guilty for getting a lawyer?
Accept support Accept respect. Do these concepts bother you? I got my safe place by getting a morgage on my own and my dad got butt hurt not able to control me. I went no contact with him and he ultimately died alone with meth heads leeching off him. He hated them too but they were the only people who could put up with him.
Put too much importance of self reliance you'll be the only one dying alone. I did say I'd say I'll piss in my dad's ashes but he did eventually leave me alone so I didn't so maybe figure out where you are on that front.
I personally don’t care just as long these “safe spaces” aren’t using up tax / tuition payer funds, taking over spaces that could be used for effective purposes, etc.
But if these “safe spaces” aren’t conflicting with other people’s money and/or facilities then I could care less.
I believe westerners should have the freedom to do whatever they want (no matter how stupid it is) just as their choices don’t conflict with other people.
For example if a man wants to get a sex change then the more power to him. It’s freedom (as a grown independent adult) to make that choice.
But when he starts trouncing real biological females in women’s sports then I have a serious problem.
It’s giving “tell me you’ve lived a life full of privilege and ignorance without telling me you’ve lived a life full of privilege and ignorance”. The more you try and deny and argue with the people who are telling you how ignorant you sound, the more you prove our point.
No say spaces are exactly what they are a safe space is place for people to express themselves and be who they are and who they want to be. No one should take that away from someone. It would be nicer to be able to be more open and understanding butfor some reason, I think we’ve been push backwards. Things seem more hidden now than they ever been even with all the tolerance of a lot of things it’s hard to explain.
I thinkt they should be banned cause they prevent people from maturing into functioning members of society. If you're so psychologically I'll that you need a safe space that protects you from other people and their opinions, that safe space should be am appropriate mental institution. And if you just need a space where you don't wanna be bothered, that's what libraries and your personal private living arrangement are for.
It's for the Antisocial people who r living under a rock somewhere trembling at the the thought of every social interaction that hasn't happened yet or past bad experiences 😅But it's whatever I'm the same way and totally understand 🤭 The reason for those Some people really hate leaving their comfort zone or have trust issues
I don't really care. I ignore the concept anyway. It isn't like I'd respect a "safe space" just because it was written somewhere... but consequently neither do I feel like they need to be removed.
There are plenty of things that DO need to be removed... e. g. anything and everything associated with Islam.
Define "safe space". Anytime I see somebody complaining about safe spaces, it's usually by people who are desperate to be a victim of something or spend most of their time in online echo chambers (AKA safe spaces).
I take it someone corrected you in one of these spaces and now you’re butthurt about it?
We need these spaces because idiots like you exist.

No, I have no need of such a place. I can handle opinions from people whom I don’t agree with. You see I had a real man as my father, he taught me to be secure in my person.
support groups aren't my thing but they help a lot of people deal with the world. thats goes for veterans, women's shelters, AA, LGBTQ, and all of that. EVERYONE has things that help them cope and that's what those things can be
I really don't care. Keep your safe space. It just gives me something g to ridicule you about. 😆
I really don't see how you could rid the world of safe spaces. Some people were just born a raised in a plastic bubble and would never take charge of thier life even if you tried to make them. Think of it as that person you work with. You know, the one that ALWAYS does the absolute minimum. You're always going to have those people.
When you post this anonymously you don't get to call anybody weak. And the people safe spaces are made for have typically dealt with stuff you couldn't even imagine.

Yes all that nonsense should be ended. Cornell doesn't even have an English department anymore because "English" is racist.

Really? OMG 😱 that used to be a very reputable place
Is it really that hard to hear an opinion that doesn’t align with your own? Are university’s promoting fragility and weakness over strength and resilience
