We often make serious mistakes when we change our language out of fear…

- - - - This sort of linguistic dishonesty makes us think differently of our own opinions
        
        If we say this is what it is, or this is what "I believe", when it really is "I feel," that can makes us think we believe it
    - - Are you percieved as a person I can talk to?
        
        It changes how we exist in community
        
        Safe spaces, etc
        
        Worthen mistakenly argues that the calls for safe spaces and trigger warnings in universities may be eroding students’ inclinations to assert or argue. She makes the mistake that is all too common, thinking that that these measures are to avoid offence, rather than to welcome students with diverse pasts and mental illness to join in the learning process. A trigger warning is just that, a warning, it functions to let people suffering from illnesses such as PTSD know in advance that certain things could be mentioned that may cause them to suffer a psychological attack, or relive a traumatic situation.
        The calls for safe spaces and trigger warnings on campus are not calls to censor or keep tables of honest discussion from occurring, but allow more people to come to these tables, so we may learn more from each other and have real engaging conversation, not merely shouting hateful things or needlessly excluding mentally ill people from the classroom.
  - - - Political polarization
      - This is linked to a broader trend of refusing to compromise, listen to each other in our governments
    - - We think we have the right to hold our beliefs and hold them hard.
        
        I dont think we don't have this right. Of course we have the right. My question is, is it the best way to go?
        
        We all talk, we all have to consider how
- - - - We change the way we talk, to create this thing
        
        Fear of accomodation
  - - - There is a supposition that certain of these words are female things
        
        A lot of the language is being regarded as being more feminine (even if it isn't)
        
        Regardless, many of the vocal things happen to be adopted by young women (people who have had to be extra courteous because perhaps they are viewed as inferior). No one wants to do something associated with this group of people. They are regarded as stupid, incompetent, etc.
        
        Many of our derogatory expressions use girls (young women) as the epitome of what you DON'T want to be like. "scream like a little girl", throw like a girl, "girly" is an insult, also meaning in poor taste
        
        Don't act like you introducing something original here
  - - - But sometimes it really does weaken what we want to say, saying I feel like instead of "this is" is definitely a step down in certainty
  - - - It means we're making a request of someone
        
        Adding this fake strength is real
