"Microaggressions" are in the eye of the liberal beholder. https://psyarxiv.com/973v8/ pic.twitter.com/NsO4GKdlNq
The method and results show that identifying microaggressions is correlated with political alignment. You could just as easily say "Conservatives are blind to microaggressions" if you're keen to overinterpret but aren't fussed about the direction
Considering microaggressions are the practice of putting words in other people’s mouths and being offended by what you imagine they’ve said, I don’t think it’s really a bad thing if either side is “blind” to them. More unfortunate that so many are hypersensitive and narcissistic.
There's also narcissism in the overeager acceptance of straw men to maintain one's own comfortable political certainties. The language of microaggressions is misused, and they're only sometimes aggression, but it's an earnest attempt to describe subtle social stereotype effects
treating something so liminal as matter of certainties isn't great; I'm not on board with inferring fault, sin or malicious intent from subtle interactions, but a diagnostic tool needn't entail a cure.
The authors base their interpretation on the theoretical literature, especially the recent review by Lilienfeld, which undermines the validity of the concept of microaggressions. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1745691616659391?journalCode=ppsa …pic.twitter.com/GbmKAQq9bF
