"Clapping has been discouraged at the U.K.'s NUS Women's Campaign Conference (a conference for feminist university students in the United Kingdom) due to the fact that it may be triggering anxiety among delegates. Attendees are now encouraged to use "feminist jazz hands" to display approval of a speech or topic."

this shit is fucking stoopid!

[Tr1ll]

How do they expect people to actually take them seriously

[Hot Karl]

the sound of women triggers my anxiety. so women please refrain from speaking around me unless i tell you to speak.

if you do need to communicate simply remove your top and get jazzy with your tits.

[Nabatron]

^^haha shit was hilarious!!!

waiting for the day they die and get eaten by their 900 cats

Better accomodate for the visually impared, the hearing impared, the finger amputees, the hand amputees, and so on. No one can or will be able attend. Works for me

this is a good sign. they are becoming weak with anxiety from small things.

they will be crushed in the real world.

Sounds a lot like CIC, pretty soon they'll be filing with the UN because of the PTSD from others clapping in the vicinity.

[pastarocket]

Show this Weiser's Club slow clap video to those feminists.

It will rustle their feathers for sure: :lawl:

How in the fuck can clapping cause anxiety? They should be talking to a medical professional, not forcing people to bend to their special snowflake bullshit.

[tarobbt]

They got anxiety because clapping is associated with having the clap

[Tone Loc]

... and these same people wonder why feminism is never taken seriously. I miss a world where none of this white knight/social justice warrior bullshit existed and people didn't act like being "offended" or "uncomfortable" was a violation of their human rights.

I mean, I support women being equal to men as much as the next person, but these people sure make feminism hard to support.

[vafanculo]

I'll just leave this here

^
i would thank you 10x if i could.

[asian_XL]

why do I see men in the crowd?

[underscore]

As a side note, if a speaker doesn't know people are doing this bullshit instead of clapping they're going to feel pretty shitty to finish their piece and get silence and a bunch of people waving at them, a hell of a lot shittier than some one who is mildly inconvenienced by clapping.

If you were payin a fortune for acrylic nails clapping would make you nervous too

Some people need to understand that stigmatizing people with mental disorders or even illness can be counter-productive. This type of attitude might make things even worse!

Anxiety, appearing to be a main factor here, needs to be considered. I myself sometimes suffer from borderline anxiety. For example, a little over a week ago, I was driving in a downtown underground parking lot and just about to reverse into my monthly parking spot.

All of a sudden I noticed a 5000 pound SUV driving the wrong way in the one way lane at a good speed. Its irrelevant and I haven't checked but I believe it was a $100,000 Land Rover or whatever. I stopped in my tracks. I knew for sure, the driver, a young man, appeared to have an assertive look on his face. My situational awareness recognized he had space to reverse and do a one point turn and correct his mistake. I was willing to back up as well to accommodate.

He was within 2 or 3 feet of me and then the SUV lurched at me missing contact within a foot of my beloved little sports coupe. It scared the hell out of me because I have no cameras. He reversed, and left. When I parked and got out I wanted to have a word with the young man but he was nowhere to be found.

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe the guy accidentally didn't put it in reverse but it didn't make sense because the whole time we had eye contact. I had anxiety for a few minutes thereafter, ruminated on it for a few minutes later that night but figured it may have just been an isolated incident.


The violence in this thread is not necessary. I'd say it is acceptable only if it is agreed upon by all parties and/or is fully sanctioned.

People have anxiety for legitimate but stupidest reasons. Yes its a medical problem but it does not mean the public should accommodate to every reason and one's needs.

Have you gone to a doctor for your anxiety? Since you say its borderline, I assume you haven't but if you're going to complain about people catering to other people's anxietys, at least help yourself first instead of putting it on others. Not trying to be aggro. I speak from experience and just knowing that I have a xanax pill in my wallet helps a lot in reducing anxiety.

Omg

It doesn't sound like you have anxiety, it just sounds like the other driver was being a fucking douche... get a dashcam, bro. It will really help with your "anxiety".

I just made it up; the term "borderline anxiety". It is normal to feel anxiety, otherwise it means you don't care about what is at hand. Last time I checked, my doctor mostly gets paid by the government. Oh yes, and never said I suffer from anxiety.
