In both the feminist and kink worlds, a new phenomenon is sweeping the nation – Safe spaces. What exactly is a safe space, and why should we care? A safe space, as defined by your average social justice crusader, is a queer-friendly, kink-friendly sex-friendly, really-damn-friendly place in which nothing bad can happen to you, unless you are unfriendly.

Initially created to keep sexual predators out of the fetish scene, safe spaces have turned into predatory forces of their own. When you choose to enter a safe space, you are asking for it like a victim of the first degree. Anything you say or do can be held against you, and chances are that you may upset the wrong mean girl and end up publicly roasted by the people you once engaged in mindless orgies with.

Those mindless orgies, which seemed so innocent and drama-free at the time, can turn into bizarre rituals against you for having missed a hidden social cue. You should probably stop being kinky if your kink is politically incorrect, and you should probably start worrying about not making the wrong queen uncomfortable.

Yet what happens when a woman makes another woman uncomfortable?

It’s bizarre when a group of women proclaims that another woman isn’t feminist enough, but this occurs more and more often during our time of social justice wars and faux-democracy. Feminists are becoming ex-feminists who are becoming anti-feminists, declaring that The Great Hugbox is now as oppressive as the patriarchy (not to mention catty).

The Great Hugbox does not care if you’re a man or a woman. It only cares if you keep it calm and comfortable, like a child begging for a trip to the candy store. You must not upset the child, or you get instant shitlord/troll/blacklist status. “Off with your head! How dare you say the wrong thing to the wrong mean girl of The Great Hugbox?” She thinks you’re creepy as hell, and now you’re no longer welcome at your own events.

Which is pretty creepy, no?

When The Great Hugbox thinks you’re a shitlord, you must figure out how to get to the next orgy or tech party without any drama. You fear that you’ll end up on the digi-news, as the mean girl was having a bad day, or perhaps she just wanted you to stop telling your friends to attend her safe space without her consent. Does it really matter? The Great Hugbox has pissed off the entire Internet.

It’s happening.

Women are hating on other women, and the shitlord army is growing like a virus.

We should remember that this is just one period in time. These are the social justice wars, and being on the “right side of history” means lying to others in order to avoid offending the The Great Hugbox. Honest adult discussion is labeled as barroom banter, while diplomatic subservience is labeled as honest adult discussion. We should get used to this Orwellian newspeak.

The major threat of the safe space cult is that anything deemed inappropriate is now deemed to be creepy, while the terms “inappropriate” and “creepy” have become catch-all phrases that are used against anyone who don’t toe the neurotypical line.

Women can offend other women as much, if not more, than men. Women who don’t support progressive politics are not welcome in the feminist community. You see these social justice feminists attacking women like Cathy Young, who were feminists that worked so hard to gain us equal rights in the first place.

It shouldn’t be up to a committee of mean girls to decide what being “appropriate” means. I would sooner create an event called Creep Walk than accept that Slut Walk had turned into a safe space. I would feel more comfortable at an event like Creep Walk, because I wouldn’t have to worry about upsetting the wrong mean girl. After all, I’m a creep. The feminists told me that a while ago, because I forgot to include a trigger warning.

Safe spaces are just plain dangerous, and the fetish scene is starting to realize this too. It is distancing itself from modern feminism, going against the very notion of a safe space. The world of kink is a world in which taboo is engaged in, and not a world where we should care about upsetting The Great Hugbox and its 50 shades of not-so-risqué.

Geeks who could previously not get a women to as much as talk to them are now lead to feel like sexual predators because of the things they type on Twitter. It all seems ridiculous, especially when these geeks (“virgin neckbeards” in SJW speak) rage about how feminists are some new type of evil. No, feminists aren’t evil. Feminists are petty, because they care more about being comfortable in The Great Hugbox than receiving equal treatment in our society.

This is the banality of petty feminism.

Now make no mistake. It’s not your job to educate The Great Hugbox on what it means to be a woman and a geek who doesn’t agree with the social justice agenda. It’s not your job to tell them that The Great Hugbox is creating more shitlords, as anyone in politics knows. It’s simply your job to go about your day without getting sucked into the latest safe space presentation, in which you are told to restrain yourself in the name of freedom.

“Safe spaces” are not just dangerous. They are a major hazard to our liberty, and who wants to watch the fetish scene turn into a high school prom? Observing the progressive thought police go after anyone who makes them uncomfortable, we notice that this petty behavior creates needless unemployment among dissenters of the social justice wars. They want to get back at you because you made them squirm, yet who doesn’t make them squirm now?

Status is associated with “good behavior” and your ability to not offend others. It has little to do with your work or accomplishments. When someone who invented JavaScript can be pressured to resign from his own company because he voted the wrong way, it’s time to stop acting like the banality of petty feminism hasn’t become a major problem for liberty enthusiasts.

The most predatory people in the kink community are often well-respected inventors of the safe spaces themselves. The most ruthless women-haters in the tech scene are often sociopaths who pose as feminist liberals, violating women and men alike behind the scenes. It’s never what you’re told that it is by the social justice media. We know that much.

So it’s probably good that you’re no longer able to enter the “safe spaces” that get you high status within those ultra-progressive tech companies. Their blacklists will backfire, and their companies will go out of business in the end. The working class always ends up overthrowing the elite, which history has proven through the blood of both the few and the many.

If you hear about a safe space, it is now your duty to run as far away from it as you can. The Great Hugbox has created too many shitlords for its own good. How many powerful white liberal women must cry about death threats on Twitter for people to realize this?
