Trigger warnings - the idea that mere words on a page are so emotionally damaging and psychologically traumatizing that you must warn others about them. No greater evidence of weak-minded, soft-headed, nerf-the-harsh-edges-of-the-world because I am incapable of dealing with it nonsense. Bonus points given if the one warning about, or being warned of, trigger warnings describe themselves as "strong" or "independent."
When "Trigger Warning" Lost All Its Meaning - The Awl:
"Triggers are a pretty specific psychological phenomenon. They are not the same as being reminded of things one does not like. When the term becomes too general it stifles regular conversation because the phrase carries with it, in common usage, the idea that we should respect the severe psychological responses to otherwise ordinary exchanges, and should modify our behavior accordingly. In the case of a severe response, this seems justified. In lesser cases it seems like a word used to make people stop talking about something you don't want them to talk about."

“One of feminism’s irritating reflexes is its fashionable disdain for “patriarchal society,” to which nothing good is ever attributed. But it is patriarchal society that has freed me as a woman. It is capitalism that has given me the leisure to sit at this desk writing this book. Let us stop being small-minded about men… If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.” - Camille Paglia, lesbian feminist, in Sexual Personae
"Calling the experience “completely transformative,” local 22-year-old Angela Fisher told reporters Tuesday that her six-day visit to the rural Malawian village of Neno has completely changed her profile picture on Facebook. “As soon as I walked into that dusty, remote town and the smiling children started coming up to me, I just knew my Facebook profile photo would change forever,” said Fisher, noting that she realized early in her nearly weeklong visit just how narrow and unworldly her previous Facebook profile photos had been.
