So Haidt and Lukianoff --- two middle-aged white straight guys who most certainly make six-figure salaries, and are thus part of a class who are about as "safe" as you're going to get --- are whining about the alleged demand for "safetyism" of others?

People aren't telling guys like this to sit down and stop talking in order to feel "safe". They need to sit down, check their privilege, and listen for a change because they're just annoying.

That is all,

I largely agree with the thesis of the book. I have written about similar issues. Here is a blog I did summarizing a similar issue:
