    She’s right though: trigger warnings are absolute bullshit and do little but add to the policing of academia.

    I say fuck em’

      Correct. If you’ve been traumatized to the point that any exposure to a certain thing sets you down a bad road, therapy seems like a better idea than expecting the world to know all the things you don’t like to see/hear/read and conspire to keep you safe from them.

      Don’t you love how this post, instead of actually addressing the merits of her argument, just straight up goes for the ad hominem?

    I must say that one thing that I find even more annoying than trigger warnings are those who feel the need to bitch about trigger warnings. We get it: you don’t believe in PTSD and you are so tough that nothing bothers you, now do you really need to insult people who have traumas instead of just ignoring them?

      I have PTSD. Trigger warnings don’t help shit. Taking my medication and seeing my therapist and reaching out to my support group help (and also sometimes Gilmore Girls and pizza). If you have PTSD and you’re in treatment, you know that. If I wasn’t in treatment, I’d be a dick and bully and constantly force others to walk on eggshells around me. I probably would lose my job, get evicted and end up miserable in my parents basement or in a mental institution or a jail (all of which I’ve been to). That’s not to say this is generational the way Ol’ Pegs is making it out to be (Peggy’s generation just drank and smoked themselves to death to deal with life right?).

    I notice lately that some members of your generation are being called, derisively, Snowflakes. Are you really a frail, special and delicate little thing that might melt when the heat is on?

    Because she’s such a badass.

      Can we put trigger warnings up before posting articles on Peggy Noonan?

        Old people’s two favorite things:

        1. talking about/bitching about the weather

        2. How stupid/irresponsible/fucked younger generations are

          Bitches about the weather but is seldom outside.

          Bitches about the younger generation but has almost no meaningful contact with them.
