College makes up shiny new microaggression: looking at service dogs (oh, and it's hurtful to say "hey guys")
Hey Guys. Oops. Was that hurtful? Because according to a workshop at Syracuse University, saying ‘hey guys’ to anyone other than a “guy” is “hurtful.” But that is not even the best part. Apparently, looking at someone's service animal is also considered a “micro-assault.”
And don’t worry, I looked up the term “Micro-Assault” for you because I also did not know that was a thing. According to a website called “EasyLlama,” which is probably really woke, “Microassaults are damaging or discriminatory comments made to a person or group (verbally or nonverbally) that are motivated by that person's or that group's identity.”
Okay. That definition made me even more confused. So here is one from Auburn University, “A microassault is an explicit racial derogation characterized primarily by a verbal or nonverbal attack. meant to hurt the intended victim through name-calling, avoidant behavior, or purposeful discrimination.”
I am still confused. But hey, at least we tried.
According to The Daily Orange, eleven university faculty and staff were in attendance to hear ODI officials Christina Papaleo and Carlee Kerr discuss how students might be offended by various statements and gestures.
“While some may believe the road to equity and inclusion is ‘paved with good intentions,’ language that is left unchecked can have a destructive impact,” the “But I Didn’t Mean It That Way” seminar description reads.
“Microaggressions are more than just words; they are subtle acts of exclusion.”
Papaleo said the first microaggressions were “racial specific,” but the concept grew to encompass others such as “indigenous folks [and] disabled folks.”
Papaleo, an “advocate, artistic creator, and disabled woman” who uses her creativity as “a transformational opportunity for her visual impairment to serve as a part of her identity,” said “non-verbal cues” also can be microaggressions.
For example, not looking someone in the eye while speaking to them “could be taken the wrong way” (she didn’t mention Asians aren’t likely to take offense, according to the report), and looking at a disabled person’s service animal might be seen by its owner as a “micro-assault.”
Papaleo said the phrase “hey guys” is a “constant reminder” of how she doesn’t want to feel like she’s in “a male-dominated society all the time.”
One of the problems with defining the term “micro-assault” is that it has nothing to do with the definition as defined by the law. Which states that “assault is the illegal act of causing physical harm or unwanted physical contact to another person, or, in some legal definitions, the threat or attempt to do so.” So by definition, looking at someone's dog is not “assault.” But that is what progressives do. They take a word that already has a heavy tone to it and redefine it for their woke language.
How pathetic does someone have to be to claim that looking at someone's service animal is assault? That makes absolutely no sense and I cannot fathom how this is being taught at a University.
This is why everyone hates college students and why graduates are having trouble landing a job. Who wants to work with a bunch of miserable self-loathing progressives who find that literally looking at someone the wrong way is assault? I did not think it was possible to be that pathetic in life. But here we are, as progressives reach new lows every day that no one thought was possible.
And “hey guys” has always been gender neutral. And even if it was not, who gives a crap? It’s similar to saying “mankind”. If the term “guys” offends someone that means that person is likely TRYING to be offended because they desperately crave attention THAT BAD to make themselves the least bit relevant. Can’t these students learn about something that is just the least bit significant? Do these students even know who Socrates is?
Anyway, Bye Guys.
