“Some students and professors argue that nearly everything should come with a trigger warning,” wrote Laurie Essig, a professor of psychology at Middlebury College and a contributor to the Chronicle of Higher Education. “Mrs. Dalloway? Trigger warning: suicidal tendencies. The Great Gatsby? Trigger warning: suicide, domestic abuse, graphic violence. Think I’m making this up? I’m not.”
Essig provided the example of a Rutgers University student who praised trigger warnings as an ideal compromise between free expression and censorship, noting that “by creating trigger warnings for their students, professors can help to create a safe space for their students — one that fosters positive and compassionate intellectual discussion within the collegiate classroom.”
I'm going to borrow this from Mr. Williamson:
Stop being a little pussy.
What was that?
Stop being a little pussy.
Oh, right. Profanity. That's good.
Stop being a little pussy.
It's also sexist. You're genderizing negativity as female.

As soon as you stop being a little pussy.
Behavior like yours is what's wrong with America.
Stop being a little pussy.

That won't help you stop being a little pussy.

I'm going to find some tolerant people to talk to, who agree with me.

"Pussy" in that use is short for "pusillanimous".
That's my favorite (true) reply to that accusation of sexism there.
("I am not calling you a vagina, you sexuality-obsessed twit. I'm calling you timid. Which you are.")
These 'trigger warnings' - exposure is a proven way to cure all kinds of phobias. So providing continuing exposure to all kinds of triggers could be argued to be a kind act, yes? You are acting in their best interests, after all. :D
