The whole thing makes me feel sick. Like that entitled brat who tried to take down Stephen Colbert for making an anti Asian slur joke.

I love women and think they are entitled to everything men are within limits of gender of course.

The problem is not men or women. It is all people. Why does everyone think they have a right to be offended all the time? All these idiots (men and women) would better spend their time helping the homeless, jobless or friendless than taking up non causes and making an issue out of non issues. Or better yet, join a religion and go on some overseas missions and see how 99% of the world are barely getting by while they drink diet coke and drive their SUV.

People have a right to be offended, it's just that being offended shouldn't, in itself, provide any additional rights.

There's nothing really wrong with being offended, the problem is when people use that to change things within the world. Change the content others can experience, for example.

I would say people are allowed to be offended but do not have a right to be offended. You are allowed to be a jerk, but that is not a right. You are allowed to not take a shower for a year, but that should not be defended in the Supreme Court as a right. In fact, once the things you are allowed to do impinge on other people's rights, you are then no longer allowed to do them.

So I see offense just like that. You are allowed to do it up to the point you are making other people's rights disappear. In this case the offense felt by all the SJWs is killing the right to free speech.
