i dunno that the microaggresions discourse is good or anything, it'd be a violation of sturgeon's law if a description of a valid and objectionable phenomenon weren't immediately exploded into a swamp of opportunistic dominance maneuvering

I verily doubt that the phenomenon even exists as initially defined by Pierce, let alone has the effects it is implied to have Frankly, "as defined and used" a claim of micro-aggression can not be disproved, kind of like "knocking on table summons bad spirits" can't be disproved

I guess we differ in this regard. But then again, I kind of have a moratorium on "subconscious X" explanations / inferences regarding other humans or myself.
