"Why am I all a sudden hearing about this expression all the time,who came up with it? It's starting to irritate."
And me. Only seems to have been mentioned during the last few months. It seems to be an insulting term, for someone who doesn't share the views of the person using it. |

No its not insulting at all, it used to describe someone whos so soft an delicate! Im starting to detect your a snowflake
My point is for years, women have fought for equality in jobs, in pay and in society.
So what if a beautiful women can make a living out of wearing skimpy clothes? Would you women try banning the dreamboys? Or the chippendales?

Ive been called a "Snowflake" Many times.
It gets on my tits that I'm given a label by closed minded people, purely because I have the ability to understand both sides of an argument.
It's usually said when I'm getting the upper hand in a moral argument with people who are getting dangerously close to sounding like an 'ist' of some kind or other. A label I try to avoid putting on them, as it doesn't help any debate - even if it is true and they refuse to acknowledge it.
Removing myself from Faebook this week, because I'm fed up of getting dragged into comments sections that ate full of rage and intolerance from the right and left, veggies and carnivores, feminists and manists, Conservatives and Labour, cat lovers and dog lovers..
Is it so hard to live and let live? |

Originally snowflake came from trying to make everyone feel special. We’re all unique. Like snowflakes.
Now it’s been misappropriated to this melting metaphor. And generally used if people are overly sensitive. Like a snowflake ... 
It makes as much sense as the OP. |

"So are feminists snowflakes now 
"
I wouldn't say so.Spme can be highly fundamentalist though. Which damages the very good cause they are fighting for. Alienating good men who want to assist in any way they can. |

Its just a term given to people to are easily offended by the littlest of things, and a lot of those people just happen to be feminists. Its mainly in america, dont really get it here so much but its the reason why a lot of comics wont play at college campuses anymore as nobody can take a joke. |

Steve Hughes did a brilliant bit on a podcast about the rise of the PC brigade, the ease with which some people get offended and indeed the lengths some will go to to find offence. |

Fundamentalist Femminism isn't a new buzzword.. it's been around for a few decades.
You can have a fundamentalist of any viewpoint. Someone who refuses to accept any view other than their own and prepared to attack others over the difference.
I'm all for equality, equal wages, I welcomed women on the frontline in the Royal Engineers. Our female officer was a much better soldier than any of us.
I don't think female equality should overtip the balance though - men shouldn't be placed on a lower rung of the ladder because women have for centuries. Bring it to an equal level, like it always should have been.. and leave it there.
But I'm being drawn into another debate I don't really want.. so backing out and tipping my hat with mutual respect lol |

Ahh ok, so definitely not me then! While I care about people I don't get offended or arsey about their career (or any other) choices.

A very good friend of mine used to be a darts dancer. She's highly intelligent, but shunned other careers because she loves dancing. Fortunately for her she was born traditionally beautiful.. works hard to maintain her skill and physique. Now she's stuck in a cafe chasing down audition after audition. Personally I find dancing girls and F1 Pitgirls a little cringy.. but I'd fight for her right to carry on doing it.
She shouldn't be punished because other women and their male followers feel demeaned by her performances. She is strong enough to defend herself from any unwanted male attention.
I defended her in this way on Facebook in a thread on darts girls. Was told in no uncertain terms that she couldn't be that intelligent and that I'm an idiot for defending her right to be demeaned by men wanking over her... |

Calling someone a snowflake means you are losing the argument.
Trying to make out the reason that they don't agree with you is due to a personal failing.
Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. |

Ironically that reply confirms the perception of your opinion..
you see no problem with saying 'you women' which is a massive sweeping glib generalisation..
but then when that's pointed out you do the equivalent of the 'rolly eyes' emoji rather than engage the point made.. |

People tend to resort to using those kind of terms when they are losing a political argument and they are throwing their dummy out so resort to petty name calling. Just shows their immaturity and makes me think of the school playground lol |

Most of that doesn't even warrant an answer.. Look at Scandanavian societies if you want to see the benefits of being "Soft as shit".
I'd argue our society is so messed up because of people like you who think it's acceptable to hit children. |

"People tend to resort to using those kind of terms when they are losing a political argument and they are throwing their dummy out so resort to petty name calling. Just shows their immaturity and makes me think of the school playground lol
Not really i just think this country is being ruined by the snowflakes.
To many people are soft as shit
examples of that ruination?
Corporal punishment banned in school- kids have no respect
Parents not bein able to lay a hand on there kids- kids have no respect
A person takes a life- is out of prison in 10 years
A r—ist can cause a lifetime of mental an emotional trauma to a victim, yet they can only be sentanced to 6 yrs inside
As a country we are soft as shit!
"
So what should our country do OP.
Bring back corporal punishment in schools so underage children can be physically beaten?
Beat children just because we can?
Bring back the death penalty?
What's your definition of a ra**st OP ?

"Originally snowflake came from trying to make everyone feel special. We’re all unique. Like snowflakes.
Now it’s been misappropriated to this melting metaphor. And generally used if people are overly sensitive. Like a snowflake ...
It makes as much sense as the OP.
I must be something like a snowflake then... Because I care about people.
Is that seen as a bad thing nowadays then? snowflakes are people that are offended by things that have no offence attached to it, banning darts walk on girls coz some woman decided it was derogatory
Its a career choice those women no what they are gettin into "
Though you could argue that removing that role from the jobs market means it isn't there as a last resort for women who don't really want to be objectified and quite likely physically tampered with by a load of overweight d*unk men, even if it's their only hope of employment. |

But unfairly removing the option for women who don't see it in those terms.
Someone did say something earlier that rang true though.. you don't see many dancing men at these events.
I say bring them back.. If the demand is there, on the proviso there are also dancing men. |

No. If there are dancing women, there should be dancing men. If that thought makes straight men uncomfortable, they need to question why it is they enjoy the dancing women in the first place. |

like anything the power of the sponsor seem's to be the reason it got binned..
whilst like any issue there will always be some who don't like it even to the point of campaigning there does not seem to have been a momentum to remove the walk on girls..
the decision looks to have been commercially driven and the timing to have been on the back of the shit behaviour by a some attending the Presidents club..

A very good friend of mine used to be a darts dancer. She's highly intelligent, but shunned other careers because she loves dancing. Fortunately for her she was born traditionally beautiful.. works hard to maintain her skill and physique. Now she's stuck in a cafe chasing down audition after audition. Personally I find dancing girls and F1 Pitgirls a little cringy.. but I'd fight for her right to carry on doing it.
She shouldn't be punished because other women and their male followers feel demeaned by her performances. She is strong enough to defend herself from any unwanted male attention.
I defended her in this way on Facebook in a thread on darts girls. Was told in no uncertain terms that she couldn't be that intelligent and that I'm an idiot for defending her right to be demeaned by men wanking over her... "
It's a joke really. They get pissed off that women don't have the right to do the jobs they want, then they slag women off for choosing to do a job like that. Which is it?!
Good for you for sticking up for her. |

people were not saying ban walk on girls, some people wont like male strippers at events and i would imagine they may not go..
none of this has anything to do with your OP and your opinions about the country is shit and the 'too soft' point?

Corporal punishment was abolished around about the time I went to high school - I’d say ‘84 most likely, maybe ‘85. Definitely gone from private schools in the 80’s too. |

Strippers aren't being discussed in public eye much.. there's no sponsorship involved I guess. But if you were to ban female strippers, men should also be banned from doing it I guess.. |

OP’s argument isn’t very well put & I'm still not sure what he’s upset about.
That said, I find the banning of the F1 grid girls farcical. They are working models, paid by their agency to do a job. That is the profession they are in. It can be very well paid & can also take them all over the world. They have chosen to go into that profession because they can. Political correctness is going a little too far in a knee jerk reaction to the ‘Weinstein’ effect.
What is more disturbing is that the F1 girls are getting more column inches than the minimum wage waitresses who were groped & propositioned by rich, entitled dickheads, drinking their £200 brandy & congratulating themselves for being masters of the world. These are the girls that need protecting, not the career models & dancers who chose their careers rather than taking a job to pay the bills & feed their kids. |

Hmmmm you're right.. but.. I doubt many of the waitresses were clueless as to what they were entering into, given the vetting process of such an event. You could argue that many of them were highly aware of the situation they allowed themselves to be in. Its a similair situation that the dancing an F1 women put themselves in.
My friend was approached inappropriately regularly, in darts and when she worked as a hostess at a well known football grounds VIP box. The difference being, she said she was supported by the staff and her management at all events. Was taken seriously and appropriate action was taken.
If this saftey network is in place and the women are aware, given appropriate training and supported. Not liable to lose their jobs because they arent flirtacious enough.
I have zero issues with it.
Even though I find the whole Dart Dancer/Strip club/Pit Girl/Promo Girl thing very, very cringeworthy. I'll defend these women's right to do what they want, provided they are mentally strong enough to say "No" When the time comes, because it will... and their employers hold their staff in the same high regard as they hold their wealthy customers, in some cases that means refusing their custom to protect their staff. |

Question: why use feminist and snowflake in the same sentence?
I'm a feminist and a Liberal but I'm not a snowflake.
(it is my mums nickname for me though, I was born in winter when it was snowing). |

Always find that those who call others ‘snowflake’ are the easiest to be offended.
Feminism is about us all being equal so quite why anyone would not be on board baffles me. |

"Why am I all a sudden hearing about this expression all the time,who came up with it? It's starting to irritate.
And me. Only seems to have been mentioned during the last few months. It seems to be an insulting term, for someone who doesn't share the views of the person using it.
No its not insulting at all, it used to describe someone whos so soft an delicate! Im starting to detect your a snowflake
My point is for years, women have fought for equality in jobs, in pay and in society.
So what if a beautiful women can make a living out of wearing skimpy clothes? Would you women try banning the dreamboys? Or the chippendales?
Referring to people as 'you women' says much about how your opinions are formed."

I thought that was the joke! Usually to be found reading the Daily Mail or Express - publications that peddle outrage.... |

"Snowflake - drippy,wishy washy,takes offence at everything to gain attention,loser at life.
Feminist(s) - females who are (unts to other females."
Both incorrect definitions, but tells us all a lot about you, if that's what you think they mean |

"Ive been called a "Snowflake" Many times.
It gets on my tits that I'm given a label by closed minded people, purely because I have the ability to understand both sides of an argument.
It's usually said when I'm getting the upper hand in a moral argument with people who are getting dangerously close to sounding like an 'ist' of some kind or other. A label I try to avoid putting on them, as it doesn't help any debate - even if it is true and they refuse to acknowledge it.
Removing myself from Faebook this week, because I'm fed up of getting dragged into comments sections that ate full of rage and intolerance from the right and left, veggies and carnivores, feminists and manists, Conservatives and Labour, cat lovers and dog lovers..
Is it so hard to live and let live?"

Society.....Its a love hate relationship |

"A snowflake is anybody who cant stand up to the heat of debate without "melting" into rage "
Not true, I'm usually called it for being a Liberal and it usually pops out of someone else's mouth when I'm winning the argument and they feel the need resort to name calling, because they can't think of an intelligent reply. |

They may label you it but the reality is they are the snowflake, when I used to play football you'd be surprised how many people were called "fat fuckers" without actually being fat |

You know, I know.. it's only the people who lash out with it as an insult who seem to have no clue as to why they're using it.
It's all a case of projecting their fears about themselves onto others. |

"Nope, just able to see that we are all unique and that bottling up emotion is not a good thing"
..I don't think there's any evidence that freely showing your emotions at everything you encounter in life has any benefit either.
perhaps there's a middle ground? |

Maybe there is. Suicides for one would be reduced |

The duscussion should not be about the term snowflake. It is just a name after all. Quite why the chap decided to bring up the 70's version I am not sure. It has no relevance to the subject matter here.
We are all guilty, myself included, of having over reactions to situations. We are equally so with regards to under reacting to things in life we shoud care more about.
I will sum up how I see this country in particular has got it's priorities wrong.
Great rejoice has been given to the removal of darts dollies and Pit lane princesses yet there are girls in this day age, and lads, having to sell their bodies to make ends meet. People homeless in our cities and towns. Teenagers running riot in our town centres. I could go on.
We are soft on crime generally. Unless it costs a business money. Then it seems to matter more.
I don't have the solutions to the problems but I certainly don't think it comes with removing glamorous girls from a stage or a race track. |

"People tend to resort to using those kind of terms when they are losing a political argument and they are throwing their dummy out so resort to petty name calling. Just shows their immaturity and makes me think of the school playground lol
Not really i just think this country is being ruined by the snowflakes.
To many people are soft as shit
examples of that ruination?
Corporal punishment banned in school- kids have no respect
Parents not bein able to lay a hand on there kids- kids have no respect
A person takes a life- is out of prison in 10 years
A r—ist can cause a lifetime of mental an emotional trauma to a victim, yet they can only be sentanced to 6 yrs inside
As a country we are soft as shit!
"
And you appear to have very right wing political views.
No one 'gets out' after 8 years of a life sentence. |

"Originally snowflake came from trying to make everyone feel special. We’re all unique. Like snowflakes.
Now it’s been misappropriated to this melting metaphor. And generally used if people are overly sensitive. Like a snowflake ...
It makes as much sense as the OP. "
Oh dear. All counsellors and counselling students must be snowflakes then. We value everyone and their opinion.
Thing is, I'd rather be a snowflake than sit in judgement of others.
Oh the irony right there  |

"

Who ever said that it does?
'Grid girls' and 'walk on girls' weren't banned by the government in order to bring about some social change.
The organisations in charge of darts and F1 just decided they didn't want to have them any more. Their own choice.
The majority of sports in this country don't use women to try and sell themselves. It should not be controversial that two more sports join that majority. Unless you're the kind of snowflake that gets upset by any minor incident that seems a bit 'PC'. |

I don't know who said it does. I merely said it doesn't. The point of my post loses it's meaning if you take just that one paragraph btw.
Funny how both sports decided at practically the same time to remove them after it being 'ok' for so many years. Surely it is co incidental timing with all the sexual harrasment cases in hollywood of course. |

"how many feminists? Or snowflakes are on here?
Give me your definition of such terms and I'll tell you."
Would the definitions help you with the survey you have done of all the members? You have missed me out btw. |

"So are feminists snowflakes now
I wouldn't say so.Spme can be highly fundamentalist though. Which damages the very good cause they are fighting for. Alienating good men who want to assist in any way they can.
So a fundamental feminist then rather than a 'snowflake'. Trendy buzz words just applied randomly irritate me
Fundamentalist Femminism isn't a new buzzword.. it's been around for a few decades.
You can have a fundamentalist of any viewpoint. Someone who refuses to accept any view other than their own and prepared to attack others over the difference.
I'm all for equality, equal wages, I welcomed women on the frontline in the Royal Engineers. Our female officer was a much better soldier than any of us.
I don't think female equality should overtip the balance though - men shouldn't be placed on a lower rung of the ladder because women have for centuries. Bring it to an equal level, like it always should have been.. and leave it there.
But I'm being drawn into another debate I don't really want.. so backing out and tipping my hat with mutual respect lol "
So you are quite happy to stir the pot until the kitchen gets too hot? |

No. I know I shouldn't get involved, because it rattles my cage when I read vile stuff people actually believe. I just can't help myself sometimes. Occasionally I have to remove myself from the kitchen altogether to stop myself from dunking someone's head in boiling fat! |

I'm a feminist and, by the phrasing of your OP, that would make me a snowflake.
I'm happy with my beliefs and not such a bigot that I think your bigotry should needs debating. I can choose to ignore you and everything you say.

You can yes, thats your choice, just like its your choice to call me a bigot.
As it is my choice to label people snowflakes, maybe if this country toughene up on folk, there wouldnt be people that are offended at the slightest thing! |
