I have no problem with "safe places" I have 3, one is called "home", one is called "Church" and one is called "confidence" None are paid for by the government. Name-calling and high decibels (I might include swearing) are usually substitutes for content.

My read is that the SJWs here aren't really interested in social justice, they want power. But they want it simply given.
I recently read an interesting article (or comment with an article) that I unfortunately can't relocate right now. The premise was that if you want to really effect change, almost no matter the situation, you have to "infiltrate" the system itself rather than try and bash it from the outside. If you want to effect change in politics, get your candidate elected, for instance. But this also means that more fringe views get moderated since a large group has a median that everything tends to regress towards. This is of course a bit of an oversimplification and isn't always possible probably, but the intent of the idea really struck me - effect the change from within.
We do need to make sure that equal opportunity is there, but that should just mean that the door is open for you. You have to put the work in yourself to walk through the door and take advantage of the opportunity.
Or, as I said on something else I posted over the weekend to friends on FB, maybe I'm completely wrong about this.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Here's another KU response from a staffer, although the website misrepresents the encounter with the SJW, stating that they over ran the YAF meeting. In actuality they were invited to debate the matter."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards Deming
