I agree with you and the Factual Feminist. I had a co-worker one time (She tended to irritate everyone, even the other girls.) that complained, because I said hows everything going guys. She told me that shes not a guy. I responded in a annoyed tone okay, Hows everything going People. She almost starting yelling, because I only changed one word. I said in a angry sort of way that I am offended that you would be, so focused on finding offense that everything gets you mad. She complained to the other coworkers about that mean comment, but they hesitatingly agreed with me, even a nearby Female Manager. Turn about is still fair play, Right?

I also remember reading (but could not find now, so can't verify it's true -- take with a grain of salt) that Napoleon III said something like "with three commanders like Zaragoza I could conquer the world".

Hell, half the women I have dated are not even from this country - I just find differences in experience interesting. I told her that it seems kind of sad to me that people may take my interest in them as some kind of an insult, and it's unfortunate that in knowing that, I may eventually just stop asking entirely, and depending on how sensitive people become to these things, at the most extreme end, though I love diversity in people, I can see becoming avoidant of even associating with people that are different than me. While I don't really anticipate THAT actually happening, I can see this type of culture actually leading to more and more segregation because people will get sick of walking on eggshells and will decide maybe it's just best to stick to their "own kind."

The irony is that, in the United States, 5 de mayo is celebrated as if it had been Independence Day. Concerning the Porfiriato, I personally think that it was good for the progress of México, We grew a lot as a country at that time, unfortunately, Porfirio Díaz didn't know when to leave the power, If he had left the chair a few years earlier, maybe, he would not have been remembered as a dictator. True, he had many defects as a leader, but you can't catch all the water only with your hands. In general, Porfirio Díaz is not very well seen among Mexicans, but I suspect it is because he is being measured by current standards, not those of his time.

I'll tell you this, i never felt worse for having black skin than when BLM started making headlines. them and any other group trying to use black people for their own ends, and im stuck watching going "this is going to just make more problems." im seeing pushes of some groups in colleges to make seperate housing for the different racial groups and im just taken aback. slightly unrelated, but the confederate flag stuff that's been going on in the US bothers me as well- that people still let some piece of cloth from that far back affect their minds in so negative a way, to create such visceral responses to bring it down.

@ 2:21 The major reason that the Mexicans aren't so keen on Cinco de Mayo is, although they won that battle, they lost the war and were occupied by the French until 1868.

James Mcenanly Not many people celebrate it in Mexico. The place where it is most celebrated is the place around where the battle was fought. That said, it's just an adopted excuse for people to party and drink. So, it's just up to par with modern culture.

Don't worry they probably gave up being offended.

So glad you're doing more of these! Your sage voice of reason as an intelligent, educated, sophisticated, and cosmopolitan woman is so needed in the midst of all the insanity in academia. Sorry if all those compliments were a micro aggression. : )

Aged enhanced! Love it. I had not thought of your age; just your wonderful ability to use logic and communicate. (no microagression meant at all; I don't want to keep anyone down)

Microaggressions are one of the most dangerous social-justice concepts if taken to the extreme. Some variants insist that such things as avoiding eye contact or tone of voice can qualify. This is startlingly close to thought-crime in 1984.

The funny thing is that treating people as offenders or agressors for avoiding eye contact is legitimately discriminatory towards autistic people and others with mental conditions that affect their ability to socialize. XD

I don't think it's discriminatory against them to be specific, because it doesn't propose different treatment toward them when they break the rules. But in practice it would harm them the most, yes.

I feel like the people who come up with this "microagression" malarkey have no idea how language works....

God this woman is so classy that even her sass comes off as the wit of a queen. So sad I hadn’t discovered her earlier, talk about a role model.

I'm sure that the "gelfling" commenter was convinced that Christina, being beautiful, smart, and successful, is privileged, therefore un-agressable.

Keep influencing the world in a positive and constructive manner, Christina.

Finally she's back, I kept the subscription just to wait for this day.

I love these little talks, thank you.

Welcome back and without a doubt you are the ultimate combination of smart and sexy.

Thank you Christina for being a voice of reason among what seems to be a sea of lunatics.

Paul T. T. Mason MS and 1 more wrote a book titled "Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder". Walking on eggshells is a common expression denoting people who are victims of emotional abuse. Clearly anyone who deconstructs everything that you do is not simply committing acts of micro aggressions, but full-blown abusive acts of aggression. Btw, I had to work hard for my doctorate, but I am a physical scientist, and we tend to believe in objectivity and testable hypotheses, and not simply pulling things out of your donkey .

Thank you for posting these videos! I'm a woman and my male boss stopped to correct himself when he referred to me and my female coworkers as "you guys." I felt the need to point out that as far as I'm concerned "you guys" is a unisex term. It's a sad day when words have to be so carefully chosen. I have worked many physical labor jobs under the employment of men. From boatyards to farm hand and have experienced such a small amount of sexism that I feel we should be PROUD. It happens, but when it does I don't crumple to floor weeping because my feelings were hurt. I buckle down and work even harder just to prove that I'm capable. Should I need to prove that? Ideally, no more than any man needs to prove his capability. But change takes time and I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to work these jobs and alongside many fantastic male and female coworkers and bosses. The few true sexists I have encountered are only pushing the intelligent hardworking women towards other places of employment to the detriment of their own businesses.

Am I the only one who thinks its hilarious that the last name of the Dr. that coined the term 'microaggression' is 'Sue'?

It's repulsive how a socjus-aligned person can argue against the supposed eradication or appropriation of foreign cultures and then immediately turn around and absolutely demean any attempt to express American culture in its very birthplace and home.

Thank you Mrs. Sommers. I needed the laughs today.

As a man of Mexican heritage I say any white person can cook and eat Mexican food while wearing a sombrero all day long. Zero microaggressions and zero fucks are given. I know a Caucasian man in his 80s who may not have the most "PC" opinion due to his upbringing and is a Republican but loves Mexico. To the left, he is a unicorn. I understand harsh upbringing. I also know that many Mexican men lack subtlety and have a very crass sense of humor. The irony is that much of the Mexican community in the US remains unaware of how regressive the left is getting. This community and much of the Mexican nation thrives on gay jokes, trans jokes, racist jokes and women jokes. The term "machismo" originates from that region so any feminist screaming "patriarchy" at the US should be looking at Mexico, Central America or many Arab nations if she wants to be taken seriously but NO because "brown people." According to the left then, my slightly darker complexion now gives me full freedom to be an asshole and commit crime in California but my inclination to judge all people by their character, including straight white men (what MLK Jr. preached), makes me a traitor and any semblance of a victim card is revoked. Microaggressions were the entire point of the Sticks and Stones colloquialism. No microaggression ever killed anyone nor will it cause PTSD for those who want to self-victimize even more.

My supervisors/coworkers are currently attending the University of Minnesota diversity training mentioned at 1:55. 30 hours total, ten sessions of 3 hours each. It's been very interesting to hear about their experiences.

Thank you, Factual Feminist! So glad that I have finally found you. The problem with microaggressions is right in the name--(alleged) microaggressions are, at worst, small. Smaller than small, even! Dictionary.com describes micro as something “too small to be seen by the unaided eye.” Who has the time or energy to find offense in something that must be magnified to even be noticed?

I think as a whole we have become overly sensitive about everything...

"they were fighting the French! ..... nobody cares about that!!" That made me laugh so hard :D

So important! Keep up the good work.

What happens if I get microaggressed by people scolding me for microaggressing them, and respond by microaggressing them back? How will this cycle end?

"Sit down have a drink. I'll even make you a sandwich." Boom.

Hey the term "Lame Joke" is a microagression. It's ableist because the term "Lame" refers to a person who is unable to walk. Check your able-bodied privilege!

I'll even make you a sandwich! Hah! Amazing.

I think these people obsessed with microaggressions are basically bored, and haven't got particularly important lives. Dr. Sue just needed to publish a few more papers so he could get Tenure or something, and justify his existence as a quote unquote "social scientist" and be seen by other bored people looking for something to get outraged about. If any of these microaggression obsessed people were doing real work or creating value with their work in the world, they would be too busy and focussed on helping people and making change to have any time to get pissed off about the most trivial, victimhood seeking behaviours that have ever existed in human history. I live in Japan and get asked all the time: "Where are you from?" or "When will you go back to your own country?" It's annoying, but I have more important stuff to worry about than what strangers say to me. I tell them I'm from England, and that I love living in Japan and I'm not sure when I may want to leave. Getting offended is the most childish response to these questions.

Holly shit! That was just full of micros.

I worked at this one place (that shall remain nameless) a few years ago, they had us all go to the main conference room for a presentation... turns out they had a lawyer come in to talk to us about "being rude", and as that lawyer famously said during that presentation, "Being rude is not against the law", I started laughing as soon as he said that, my supervisor asked me to quiet down, some of my co-workers were looking at me with obvious disapproval, and I asked my supervisor " Is this really necessary?" and he said "apparently it is, so lets be quiet so this gentleman can finish his presentation", everyone there knew the entire thing was for ONE person in that room who kept complaining all the time about a co-worker's rudeness, which made the whole thing even more absurd to me.

OH GAWD I'm so glad I found your videos!!

They are, unfortunately, a group that's becoming impossible to satirize. Nothing we make up could be anywhere near as ridiculous as the truth.

microaggression is a social construct

You are exactly right! As a white man, I am in the target class for most of these complaints. It's getting ridiculous, and as men are driven out as the villain, the victim classes are establishing a hierarchy of who is allowed to attack who. Do women get to attack LGBTxxx or vise versa? Are African Americans allowed to be micro-aggressive to Latinos or the other way around? The system eventually eats its own. The real change will only come when everyone is forced to sit down, be quiet, and work on actually making sure everyone has equal treatment and opportunity. Like you say, this occurs through friendships and relationships, not through the current tribalism where one declares themselves part of an increasingly small "community" and only interacts with like minded people. Shutting down other's opinions and driving them out is indicative of how the segregated South acted, not an inclusive society. Finally, nobody has a right to live their entire life without getting offended! I get offended daily, but that's ok. People have the right to be offensive, and being able to tolerate, not like or affirm, that behavior is a big part of being a functioning adult. Living in a like-minded bubble leaves you an emotional child, never challenged and always affirmed in everything. That type of person is poorly prepared to live in the real world.

Miss Hoff Sommers, I think you just became a new personal hero of mine. There’s self-depreciating humour, and there’s being willing to jump on a live grenade for the lulz; you swan-dived all over that Gelfling comment with the grace of a military paratrooper! (Subscribed, 100%.)
