I think this is a huge misconception. More likely than not the vast majority of millenials pay absolutely no attention to the "safe space" debate at all. They're too busy going to school, working, and starting families to worry about this kind of shit. Which is largely just an internet debate. Not to mention that a large chunk of millenials have grown up fighting the longest war in American history.

This is just another case of a generation being told they're undiciplined babies by the generation before them, just like has happenend with every other generation.

Absolutelly, as a kid I was bullied as well and what that happened  was not suicide or insanity, it was:

1 - Self-observation to understand if part of the criticism was deserved. Most of it really was.

2 - Effort to overcome part of the weakness.

3 - Accepting the weaknesses that were not fixable (like being a short guy).

4 - Realizing my place in the social arrangement and finding ways to get into the spots I wanted.

5 - Growth, understanindg the social fabric.]

Most of this was unconscious, cause it was simply the process of growing more mature and becoming a adult.

I'm sorry but posts like this just sound as whiny and entitled as the "SJWs" you "hyper sensitive to any criticism men" get.

1st off -- society changes ok. It's not 1970 or 1980 or 1880 anymore. The world you go to sleep to dies a little bit and evolves forward the next day. Change happens. Constant whining about change to me is part of the same coin.

Yes you can't say the same things without impunity today, when I was in high school I was a self admitted jock. I played sports and the banter was different then. "Stop playing like a fucking fag" for example was accepted talk. Today it's not with kids that age that I see, and you know what? I say good on them. It was stupid when it was done back then, but no guy really had the balls to step up and say it was wrong, we just all went along with it, and that isn't any better.

Also Ripley is a fictional movie character and the "kick ass" fetishization is primarily to appeal to (well) men ... lets get that clear. If you want to choose an apt example maybe try using a real person. Like Oprah Winfrey or someone. It's like saying Darth Vader is strong in the movies, so men have nothing to complain about.

Well I dont believe in a SJW utopia but I dont see the mongol invasion coming so that we need to become tough and warlike and as a women I am bit glad of that lol...

May be a missconception, but unfortunatelly a lot of the millenials I happen to know acts more or less inside the steriotype made to them.

But I agree with you that it's quite possibly just the vocal minority that are very annoying.

Yep, similar to me.

I have curl hair, average height and were very skinny and quite ugly with fabulous grades. That led to all kind of jokes with my hair, being a nerd, etc. Neither of them prevented me from having a few but good friends, finding a wife and having a good job.

A part of bullying could or should be corrected? Sure, there are some people that go really overboard. But usually the best way for that is teaching how to fight back and filter, because you'll never be able to control what others do and how they will try to harm you, just how you'll be able to overcome it.

Not by accident or luck. She is mentally stronger than most people, I mean and as a woman to have that kind of success without good looks either means it was largely on merit too.
