Full Title -- "Why today's young women are just so FEEBLE: They can't cope with ANY ideas that challenge their right-on view of the world, says a top academic"
Some of the girls were sobbing and hugging each other, while others shrieked. The majority appeared at the very least shell-shocked.
It was distress on a scale appropriate for some horrible disaster. Thankfully, however, I wasn't in a war zone or at the scene of a pile-up - but in a school hall filled with A-level students.
What had provoked such hysteria? I'd dared express an opinion that went against their accepted way of thinking.
'Generation Snowflake' is the term for these teens, one that's now used frequently in the U.S. and becoming more common here. It describes a fragile, thin-skinned younger generation that can't cope with conflicting views, let alone criticism.

It happened when I was taking part in a debate at a North London school as director of the Institute of Ideas early last year.
The subject under discussion was footballer Ched Evans - who was then a convicted rapist and had just been released from prison (he's since had his conviction quashed and is awaiting a retrial). His team, Sheffield United, had taken him back, and we were debating whether the subsequent furore was social justice or mob rule.
I knew many wouldn't agree with my stance, which was that Evans had completed his sentence and should be able to return to his profession. But during the final Q&A all hell broke loose. I dared suggest (as eminent feminists have before me) that rape wasn't necessarily the worst thing a woman could experience.
I expected robust discussion - not for them all to dissolve into outraged gasps of, "You can't say that!"

More like the old Monty Python sketch “Can You...Spot The Loonie?”
We’re going to have to come up with a new term for the blitzkrieg retreat with regards to women.
They live by consensus. There is no independent thinking. As a matter of fact, there is no thinking at all
Exactly. They're all little hateful liars, trained from childhood how to behave for coven approval by their rabid soccer moms.
Women seem to have an unique ability to demand some men conform to their ideas.
It now seems that more and more men have been lost to their irrationality.
There are a dozen or more Elvis Costello songs that deal with this issue.
All are virtually “Beyond Belief”

Look at the hair, muncher.
This kind of story makes me wonder how England and the USA managed to win WWII.
Sky Pilot, those rubber year blocks are little rubber blocks.
Lookds to me like somebody took a 2008 date, cut off the 20 and turned the 08 upside down.
Agreed that it isn’t just the women, but women are more likely to be given the platform if they tantrum, and they are more likely to use the tactic because their friends will more likely back them up to protect their feelings.
For example, it would be rare that anyone would see or tolerate a male version of Trigglypuff.
Transgenderism is the penultimate of “feelings trump reality”.
You feel you’re the opposite sex? Yep, we have to go with your feelings, not the biological reality toddlers understand.
Feelings change day to day as to what sex you are? That’s gender-fluid, just check the checkbox and we’ll check with you as to how to treat you today.
Cry-bullies. First I cry, and if that doesn’t work, passive-aggressive bully, and if you hit back or yell back, you’re hurting me and in the wrong.
That is EXACTLY what Barry’s felony forgers did. Can you imagine what the media would do to Donald Trump given the same evidence? We are living in the Last Days, where the ability to reason is now a crime.
Is it possible that all these young people who are so fragile ... will be spending most of their lives in institutions .. when the real world comes crashing in ..??
Frightening thought.
I laugh at all snowflakes. May they experience many things.
You know it is pretty obvious that the forgers just cut up a 2008 date.
Have still never observed any scribblers and babblers to bring it up.
We see a lot of occasions where amateur peons around the nation observe things that our media “betters” seem incapable of spotting.
Buckhead for instance........
Don’t blame the kids. They have been mind raped by liberal teachers and professors. About time to start calling it what it is.
Absolutely. This would be the scandal of the century if it was a true Conservative. But if the media didn't have double standards, they would have no standards at all.
