'Generation Snowflake' – the hysterical young women who can't cope with being offended

A top British thinker has claimed young women are in the grip of a "hysteria" which has made them unable to cope with being offended.

Claire Fox, head of a thinktank called the Institute of Ideas, has penned a coruscating critique of "Generation Snowflake", the name given to a growing group of youngsters who "believe it's their right to be protected from anything they might find unpalatable".

She said British and American universities are dominated by cabals of young women who are dead set on banning anything they find remotely offensive.

"It makes me sad that these teens and 20-somethings have become so fearful that they believe a dissenting opinion can pose such a serious threat," Fox wrote in an article for Mail Online.

This hyper-sensitivity has prompted the University of East Anglia to outlaw sombreros in a Mexican restaurant and caused the National Union of Student to ban clapping as "as it might trigger trauma", asking youngsters to use "jazz hands" instead.

Is the sombrero really too racist to be worn in Britain?

Books containing troublesome material are now slapped with "trigger warnings", whilst universities and student unions are declared "safe spaces" where young people should not have to encounter anything they disagree with.

Fox described astonishing scenes at an event set up to discuss whether the public outcry against footballer Ched Evans was "social justice or mob rule".

The academic said her mostly female audience broke down in tears after she "dared suggest (as eminent feminists have before me) that rape wasn't necessarily the worst thing a woman could experience".

Fox added: "I expected robust discussion – not for them all to dissolve into outraged gasps of, 'You can't say that!'

"Their reaction shocked me. I take no pleasure in making teenagers cry, but it also brought home the contrast to previous generations of young people, who would have relished the chance to argue back.

"It illustrated this generation's almost belligerent sense of entitlement. They assume their emotional suffering takes precedence. Express a view they disagree with and you must immediately recant and apologise."

Are some ideas too controversial to be heard?

Generation Snowflake has also created a social minefield for young boys and men, who risk being labelled "sex pests" for twanging a girl's bra at school, Fox continued.

She said women were opting to stay at home and socialise on the internet due to overblown fears about predatory men.

"There is a strand of self-absorption and fragility running through this generation; all too ready to cry 'victim' at the first hint of a situation they don't like," Fox concluded.

"We need a younger generation that's prepared to grow a backbone, go out into the world, take risks and make difficult decisions. Otherwise the future doesn't bode well for any of us."

Claire Fox has penned a book about Generation Snowflake which is called I Find That Offensive and was published by Biteback in May.

Hmm...don't know.  Not a bad idea, necessarily, such as eliminating from your reading and hearing and seeing all references to faggotry.

No harm in having your own little unpolluted world, is there?

Snowflake, huh...hmm...sounds something like "pure," doesn't it?  As in the kikes wanting to sully the lives of the sweet and innocent, and developing a term that they will use to bash the sweet and innocent.  First, of course, they destroy Disney, and now snowflakes. 

In fact, Yankee Doodle, just yesterday, stopped listening to a radio program he has listened to for years because they seemed to have adopted a need to report on trashy tabloid faggotry reports, along with their otherwise good reporting, and the radio host didn't comprehend the degenerate trend the show was taking.

Frankly, who gives a FLYING FUCK what some probably-kike shithead in a "think-tank" says? 

Personally, Yankee Doodle thinks anybody and everybody in a "think-tank" is a kike-propagandist, and  he doesn't give a flying fuck what they say, or "think."

Generation Snowflake has also created a social minefield for young boys and men, who risk being labelled "sex pests" for twanging a girl's bra at school, Fox continued.
   

This article is just total fucking bullshit.  Twanging a girls bra?  Since when has that been tolerated? 

Of course, Yankee Doodle might have, back in the day - and still - thought of twanging a girl's bra - and more - but thought that there would be repercussions.

WTF, Mike.  If it was Mooossssllluuumss going around twanging girls bras, you would be screaming about Europe turning into a shithole, and here you are promoting such behavior by discrediting girls who don't want to have their bras twanged.

WHAT THE FUCK?

Hehe.. so YD, muslims are never at fault, correct? Is that your thesis? Are you a muslim? honest question.

And just so we're on the same page, you are aware that I don't write these articles, right? And I don't agree with everything I post, right? I ask because when you get mad in these comments, you keep on attacking me. I find that confusing and makes me think "WTF is this dude's problem?!" and I don't reply to you for that reason.

Why don't you email the author of that book and ask him what he meant?

If you don't agree with it, what's your problem? 

You post what somebody writes - whether you agree with it, or not - and it can't be criticized?

You post a lot of stuff about Moosssllluums, and it's glad to know you don't agree with it.  If you don't agree with the posts, and, perhaps, are only posting them so as to inform us about what is in the "news," don't feel so bad about ignoring them. 

If you are just posting these things without belief, or critical thought, what's your problem with somebody getting mad about it?

This is really nasty stuff folks. Ok the author wants to sell some books :
  "Claire Fox has penned a book about Generation Snowflake which
   is called I Find That Offensive and was published by Biteback in May."
When there's a new generation with weak performances across the board,
is it the fault of these girls ? Or is it done by design , so some really
nasty folk can sell this ? :


But the real damage is that when this happens with two or even three
generations in sequence, you create a national problem of unsolvable
problems, which might only be solved by allowing unfettered
immigration of aliens with intolerant behavior.  It's total destruction
by design. Not only dumbing down generations by withholding essential
information and education, but making sure that the biological mess
brought upon the indigenous youngsters keeps stuck tight.

You've answered none of my inquiries. Why?

Jazz hands?  What the fuck.  Is that practice for learning to wipe their asses by themselves?
