In a domestic abuser safe space, the focus is on coping and healing, not on debating how much the woman (or man) contributed to the circumstances that resulted in their abuse. So in the non-pejorated (universities have destroyed its meaning by making entire campuses "safe spaces") term safe-space, some views are not appropriate, views that undermine the comfort of vulnerable people to express themselves fully.

Personally, I would take a slightly different perspective. I would say that in a domestic abuser safe-space, it's not so much that some views are not appropriate - it's that debate/discussion of circumstances is inappropriate. That's a behavioral restriction (don't engage in debate, this is not the place), rather than a viewpoint restriction (this is a place for debate, but not about that).
- whatshisface 9y agoI would add that none of this applies to social networks: safe spaces are designed for compromised individuals that are temporarily not healthy enough to engage in a few specific aspects of the full gamut of healthy human behavior.
