Forgive me if this has already been said, but I think the entire issue of safe spaces, micro aggressions, trigger words, privilege, and so worth, is about one thing: POWER.
I believe those involved believe they have been historically, and continually, victimized, by the system, citing whatever majority they wish to define as their oppressors. All of the political correctness, and hostility towards free speech and expression, is a way for those groups to exert power over their "oppressors", and give them a feeling that they are in control. It's all about power.
This is not to say that their concerns are unjustified, but the method in which they seek justice lies more in power and retribution than healing and cooperation towards a better society.
