Yiannopoulos faced disruption from a number of progressive activists

I hate to see that term applied to these fascists. They are anything but "progressive".

Rutgers University students expressed hurt feelings and fear in the wake of a controversial lecture last week by conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos, saying the outspoken commentator’s takedowns of liberal views were an assault on their sensibilities.

“I felt my identity was getting shot at by what he was saying and by what other people were saying,” sophomore Jasmine Dennis noted during Monday’s forum, according to the Daily Targum, the New Jersey school’s newspaper.

As part of his “The Most Dangerous Faggot Tour,” Yiannopoulos — who indeed is gay — lambasted many schools’ attempts to shield students from ideas that might offend them during his Feb. 9 speech, calling out their “culture of safe spaces and trigger warnings.”

“Of course, they’re not really traumatized or upset — they’re just upset that someone disagrees with them,” he offered. “In my view, anybody who asks for a trigger warning or a safe space should be immediately expelled.”

Melissa James, a junior, told the paper that Yiannopoulos asked the audience if they thought black lives mattered — and then told those who raised their hands to leave the room and that rape culture doesn’t exist.

“As a sexual assault survivor, that hurt me, I broke down crying after I left,” she said during the post-lecture gathering. “How can you say that is not violent? Maybe they did not hit me, but that took such a big toll on me emotionally.”

James added that she was scared to walk around campus the next day; others added that they also felt unsafe after the event.

“It is upsetting that my mental health is not cared about by the university,” James said. “I do not know what else to do for us to be heard, for us to be cared about. I deserve an apology, everyone in this room deserves an apology.”
