I think this might be one thing that can actually shock the younger generation out of this sort of coddled environment they've been brought up in. For example, I've read comments even by feminists like Gloria Steinem detailing what has gone awry with these current trends. Finally, I think this form of thought (I should never be insecure, I should never be challenged) is going to create some very emotionally stunted adults.

I don't think it will shock them out of anything. Hard to imagine any of them will be like "Wait, so here I am being comfortable and having all of my dumb ideas constantly affirmed, and you're offering me discomfort and people telling me I'm wrong? Where can I sign up!?"

Even if you try to sell them on offering enlightenment, they figure they already achieved it and don't need debate for that.

That's a good point. I suppose I think there is more of a backlash coming toward these ways of thinking--or perhaps the adults it produces. I know for example, a friend of mine works in sales and he was telling me how he had to fire a recent-graduate the other day just because they couldn't function in the work environment (at least an environment like sales). His performance was poor but in spite of people trying to help him, he just couldn't accept criticism.

Damn, Judy Bloom. Didn't realize she was so based. It's neat to see a children's author stick up for this sort of thing.

Thank God there are still some rational people left. I feel like the only people who get to speak on mainstream media are lunatics. I don't think many people actually agree, but often they're too scared to speak out and grab the attention of a SJW mob.
