Once again I am deeply impressed how Yvain can explain things that I have vaguely felt for a long time but couldn’t quite put into words.
Specifically the concept of the “safe spaces” and whether only some groups deserve them and other groups don’t. And more generally, whether only members of some groups have feelings and can be hurt (or perhaps whether only feelings and pain of some groups matter) or whether we all are to some degree fragile and valueable.
And how the “safe space” of one group sometimes cannot be a “safe space” of another group, and it’s okay to simply have both of them. And as a consequence how by insisting that every place must be a “safe space” of group X we de facto say that the group Y should have no “safe space”, ever.
