Academics Begin Studying Microaggression Complaint Culture ItselfNot what you might think -- this is pretty harsh stuff. Jonathan Haidt, who is, as I understand it, a sort of dissident liberal in the cognitive sciences/psychology area of the academy, found and posted this piece. First, some of his digest of the article: I just read the most extraordinary paper by two sociologists -- Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning -- explaining why concerns about microaggressions have erupted on many American college campuses in just the past few years. Now here are some excerpts from the beginning of Campbell and Manning's paper (available at the link above). Emphases added. As we dissect this phenomenon, then, we first address how it fits into a larger class of conflict tactics in which the aggrieved seek to attract and mobilize the support of third parties. We note that these tactics sometimes involve building a case for action by documenting, exaggerating, or even falsifying offenses. By the way, if you want a particularly choice example of a morally immature grievance-collector trumping up her daily sufferings in order to enlist the support of third parties for her terrible plight, read this future Human Resources problem-in-waiting whining about her life as a fairly attractive, privileged college-age female "who identifies as female." I identify as female. I am apparently a conventionally attractive student-athlete at UNC-Chapel Hill. I grew into my ears a few years back. I have lighter eyes and darker skin, and with the exception of a bit of an eyebrow discrepancy, my face is generally symmetrical. Ironically unacceptable? Too bad she doesn't identify as fluent with the English language. When I wake up at 6 in the morning for practice, I put on spandex that will ride up and allow my legs to chafe. I know this is because I dont have a thigh gap like most of the distance runners on my cross-country team. I eat an easily-digestible carb and make a note of the calorie count. Is this a joke? Are you yanking my chain with this crap? The stupid nonsense you're belching out of your dolt-hole is ironically unacceptable in America 2015. | Recent Comments
