&quot;Safe-spaces&quot; are practical application of the principle, accidentally unearthed by xyz-equality movements of the 20th century, that people generally don&#x27;t like hurting others and hence you can control them by appearing to be hurt, whether you are or not.<p>People modeling victim behaviors to remove everything that causes them discomfort aren&#x27;t something to be afraid of, but also their cries for attention aren&#x27;t something to be treated too seriously. Allowing them to get their way just reinforces further learning of this silly strategy.
