A New Way to Transgress: 'Invisibility Microaggressions'
For those wondering "What's Next?" when it comes to new ways for white people and men to transgress against minorities and women, two academics have come up with an answer.
They call them "invisibility microaggressions," which basically means anything not covered under previous definitions of "microaggressions" -- and even perhaps what you thought was being on the safe side -- is now covered.
Congratulations, snowflakes. You've just made living a normal life an impossibility. (Oh...that word "normal" is a trigger. So sorry.)
The Daily Caller:
Campus Reform reported on Thursday that a recent study by two professors, Jasmine Mena, who teaches psychology at Bucknell University, and Annemarie Vaccaro of the University of Rhode Island, claim that they are the first academics to discover that “invisibility” is a form of microaggressions not previously described in feminist academia.
“There is a growing body of literature that suggests invisibility is a common form of exclusion — or microaggression,” Mena and Vaccaro say. “However, no studies have focused deeply on the ways women faculty and staff experience invisibility microaggressions on college campuses.”
Your BS alarm should be ringing off the wall. First, any academic who "discovers" something not in the physical sciences should be suspected of just making crap up.
Second, any academic who mentions a "growing body of literature" without citing a single source should trigger you. They are clearly BS artists.
The two professors interviewed 13 non-white women at “predominantly white institutions” and found five different forms of “invisibility microaggressions.” Three were “environmental” and two were “interpersonal.”
Publishing their findings in the NASPA Journal About Women In Higher Education on Aug. 29, the professors claim that the environment-based “invisibility microaggressions” occur when they are “among the few, or only” non-whites in a workplace or communal context.
