Microaggressions are often represented as little pokes throughout
the day that eventually leave you bruised and tired. In that scenario one micro-aggression
isn’t bad, but a hundred of them are.

But
microaggressions are reminders that there is a force present that threatens your survival. So a single micro-aggression can send your survival instinct into ‘ALERT. THREAT TO SURVIVAL DETECTED’ mode which
sends your whole emotional system into overdrive.

A microaggression is a reminder that you are not safe. That’s why a single microaggression can hit you like a truck.

The notes on this post provide another really good block-list.

Apparentl quite a few of the kind of people that complain about ‘sensitive snow-flakes’ (but who themselves go and seek out things to be offended at…) are now following the microaggression tag. pathetic.

But hey, if you wanna avoid them or annoy them, use this knowledge to your advantage.
