The quote literally says difficult subjects (read conversations) can be had within this space. Obviously we have different interpretations and my comment is adding my own perspective to it.
- manigandham 7y agoI'm not sure what your point is here. The definition of space space in the article is only limited to discussion, not identity or comfort. You claim that's not what they actually are, so you are agreeing with the OP then in pointing out how the article uses a different definition than the common usage in reality.
- hellomyguys 7y agoYou’re conflating several distinct points into one. By expanding on how I see the term safe space being used doesn’t mean I disagree with the article and therefore agree with the OP. I don’t think that’s that hard to understand. I don’t really find it productive to continue this discussion.
