What he says: Safe spaces are bullshit! This is the Pussification of America!

What he means: I want to spout bigoted shit whenever, wherever I feel like it. Having to consider other people is a threat to my sovereignty as a cishetero white guy. I am used to the privilege of expressing myself any way I want 24/7. The existence of any space, anywhere that doesn’t allow me to do that emasculates me, and that is frightening. My masculinity is so fragile that the theoretical existence of a space where my expression is in any way curbed makes me question my validity as a man and a human. That is so scary. The world should tailor itself to my expectations because that’s how it’s always been. Other people experiencing a level playing field where I can’t assert my privilege makes me feel like less of a man. What do I do now? Oh I know: keep telling ppl that safe spaces are bullshit, and if they still don’t believe it, I’ll have to make violent threats and maybe act out.
