      Any common-sense reading of Shulevitz's exaggerated description of the room-& your decision to include it-is that the intention was to mock.

      You could have used any example of safe space, but you chose one worded to make students sound as laughable & infantilized as possible.

      Your entire speech is about how safe spaces are for "children" who need to leave their "cocoon" - that's not an "endorsement"

      You also didn't consider the danger in telling a group of young white men that the efforts of others to seek safety is 'childish'

      What's even worse than mocking victims' attempts to feel safe is disbelieving them. You told Vox rape stats "have a...slim basis in reality"

          You also suggested that if women were getting raped that much we'd go to single-sex colleges!
