I think some people are overreacting to Keira Knightley saying she has chosen films for her 3-year-old daughter in which women have strong roles and rejected ones in which they are passive. I don't know any of her other views on gender issues which could be awful but this is OK.

Is there a correlation between gentile, fragile, passive natures and an inability to cope with life? I have no clue about the science.

This is what is being referred to, yes. Passivity is the opposite of taking action and fragility is about not being able to cope with things. The latter if most often used in relation to the increasing sensitivity to words. Microaggressions. Trigger warnings etc. See Haidt.

Wow! Scary stuff. But so refreshing to see serious minds discussing things openly.
