NEW AND UPDATED EDITION OF THE BOOK THAT INTRODUCED THE TERM
`SNOWFLAKE' When you hear that now ubiquitous phrase `I find that
offensive', you know you're being told to shut up. While the
terrible murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists demonstrated that
those who offend can face the most brutal form of censorship, it
also served to intensify the pre-existing climate that dictates we
all have to walk on eggshells to avoid saying anything offensive -
or else. Indeed, competitive offence-claiming is ratcheting up well
beyond religious sensibilities. So, while Islamists and feminists
may seem to have little in common, they are both united in
demanding retribution in the form of bans, penalties and censorship
of those who hurt their feelings. But how did we become so
thin-skinned? In this ned and updated edition of her book `I Find
That Offensive!' Claire Fox addresses head on the possible causes
of what is fast becoming known as `Generation Snowflake' in a call
to toughen up, become more robust and make a virtue of the right to
be offensive.
