- "The real world" is not the workplace. - Generally, puberty is by far the cruelest time of life > "personally embrace opportunities to learn [...] it enriches and challenges me[ ...] makes me a more whole and well rounded person." You're getting awfully close to getting me to use the p-word :). Anyway, what you're describing may be an abstract debate about the benefits of some policy. What some people (apparently – I'm not among them but consider the idea plausible) experience is debates about them, personally. So if puberty was a bit difficult because you wouldn't sing along to the (completely voluntary) praises to the lord, and you're so happy to have found likeminded people at the big-city university, it probably hits you a bit harder when the Campus Christian Campaign holds a rally outside your dorm-room window. That's not to say the examples from the article aren't ridiculous and excessive. But all too often these articles are used as arguments by people who also consider it "liberal excess" when (one example I remember) a female presenter at #largeITConference complains about dozens of tweets commenting on her appearance.
