"The problem the privileged have with ideas of trigger warnings and safe
spaces is the same they have with most pushes for inclusivity and
education: being asked to consider someone else’s feelings, particularly
someone society teaches is below them and barely deserving of their
attention. What they see as an imposition is actually an attempt to
correct an imbalance that has been in their favor for too long."

Excellent article.
