There is a difference between private safe space, and turning PUBLIC space into PRIVATE safe space.

I made edit and added first paragraph, just after this was submitted.

I believe my response covers it. It is very expensive or impossible to provide safe space for everyone in its current form.

And if we provide safe spaces, we should probably start at prisons, which have much harsher conditions than universities.

But you dont see into my head and can not say if I have a PTSD or not. It is like saying what form of suffering is worse, or what religion is right.

Anyway I believe that it is already covered well. There is anti harassment law. And treating rape victim badly is fast way to loose friends.

We are not talking about tiny fraction of people, but majority of population has some skeleton in the closet. Stats says that up to 25% women are rape victims, should all of them get a safe space?

Also does this cover men? Prison rape jokes are quite popular on mainstream TV. And it is still socially acceptable to say that 12 year old boy "got lucky" with older lady.

And how about war veterans with PTSD?

Safe spaces should be handled the same way as religion. If you provide safe space, you should provide it for EVERY trigger. That would practically eliminate it.

A few examples:

Many of my relatives died because of marxism. My grandfather was in jail, because he was capitalist and employed 5 people. I can not be around people who approve any form of class warfare or class privilege. And I find cultural marxism triggering!

My ancestors were slaves. In fact even word "slavery" is named after "slavic" people. By using that word, you are condoning slavic people to be slaves and that is TRIGGERING ME!
