I am allowed to have my own opinion, as you are yours. Your sensitivity does not trump my beliefs and methods of coping.

90% of women don’t experience PTSD. 96% of men don’t experience PTSD.

You will survive being triggered or upset by things that make you uncomfortable or remind you of trauma. Trigger warnings are the equivalent of “This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer”.

Well first off, your husband is your friend and does it because he likes you and so on. It’s not because there is a rule that mandates he do it. People are objecting to this becoming a social rule, for a variety of reasons that I find both legit and not legit depending on what reason.

I think it’s important, as a former student who had PTSD (roommate’s suicide attempt/fire, and I have very boring paperwork for it) to take responsibility for yourself. I talked to my professor’s at the beginning of the semester to ask them questions about course material.

How far does our right to avoid trauma extend? The college classroom is attended voluntarily.

I have been raped. To shield me and handle me with kid gloves is to deny me the strength I have worked so hard to regain. I’m a woman, and I understand as much as any survivor that rape happens. Trigger warnings are bullshit.

“These aren’t uncommon reactions for people who have suffered violence at the hands of sexual or romantic partners (and attacking a sexual assault victim’s credibility is a defense tactic as common as it is ugly).”
