The idea of a safe space is very much similar to the way a christian university might work. There are clubs and groups on campus that declare that the room in which they operate, while they are in session, as a place where they are free to be themselves. Like if for example, there were a meeting of comic book lovers and someone comes in and says &quot;maybe you guys should get out more&quot; they might ask that person to leave. And it also shouldn&#x27;t be a giant leap to see why they might want to get people to stop saying that to them wherever they happen to be, and so they might call for their safe space to be expanded. The problem is that while it&#x27;s perfectly fine to have small safe spaces in which everyone agrees, if you try to expand them around other people they might feel like their rights are being trampled upon.
