Hey Escopeta, do you have any extra Elk or Deer sausage?
Email me your addy and I might be able to find some from the recent Colorado trip.
I made this batch yesterday. Duck jerky (garlic and cracked pepper) with Montreal Spice thrown on top before going in the dehydrator. God I love organic food. Lol.

I try to get my news and political commentary from a wide range of sources, so even though I identify as "center left" I do watch a lot of Youtube videos by Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Milo Yiannopoulos, ect... And let me tell you, those guys don't shut up about SJW's, microaggressions, safe-spaces, trigger-warnings, et al. It's like all they talk about when they aren't specifically bashing Hillary. I agree with some of what they say, but for the most part I feel like they just keep knocking down the same strawman, because the left wing people I watch (Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Russell Brand ect...) don't ever defend this stuff or really even mention it. Throughout college I'd never heard anyone defend these concepts either. In fact, our campus would regularly have some nutjobs at the public forum with picket signs preaching that all gays go to hell or whatever. I did graduate back in 2010, so maybe this is a very recent phenomenon.
But I guess the "research" in the OP demonstrates that these terms and ideologies are actually taken seriously by some people on the far left. But judging by the responses on this thread, it doesn't seem to be catching on.

There is nothing to catch on.
A women's climbing group, Flash Foxy put out the survey. Now I'm totally confused.
Is that a group for women with pointy noses and whiskers? Or is it the OG Foxy, you know "good looking women"?
Is making a judgement on whether or not someone is good looking or not a microaggression?
From the OP, "Demeaning comments like “you’re stronger than you look” are patronizing and disrespectful."
Really? I get that all the damn time.
I didn't think that lard ass could do a single pullup!
Wait, how can I tell if someone is good looking or not if I can't look without microaggressing?
Now that I think about it, I get microaggressed all the time. There is this one dude at the gym (not a climbing gym) that kind of trolls around all day, the one with the funny little rat tail growing out the back of his head, and he stares for like 5-6 seconds at a time when he walks by. Oh, and that lady clerk (can I assume she is a lady?) at the grocery store who alway looks at my beer gut when ringing up the ice cream. She's judging. I know it. And I don't like it.
Seems this microaggression BS used to be called getting through daily life while interacting with other humans.

How about the New York Times?
Here's front page story from last week.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/07/us/campuses-cautiously-train-freshmen-against-subtle-insults.html?_r=0
WORCESTER, Mass. — A freshman tentatively raises her hand and takes the microphone. “I’m really scared to ask this,” she begins. “When I, as a white female, listen to music that uses the N word, and I’m in the car, or, especially when I’m with all white friends, is it O.K. to sing along?”
The answer, from Sheree Marlowe, the new chief diversity officer at Clark University, is an unequivocal “no.”
The exchange was included in Ms. Marlowe’s presentation to recently arriving first-year students focusing on subtle “microaggressions,” part of a new campus vocabulary that also includes “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings.”

Hahahaha! Nope bitches.
Flash Foxy may be a term for going all the way with a good looking gal you picked up at the climbing gym earlier that day.?.
Ridiculous sh#t.

Hmm, I would think that the very playing of such music by white people (or anyone?) might consitute microaggression.
LOL

Ummm. My sarcasm monitor is definitely less accurate here on the Taco due to the butt hurt masses....but I'm pretty sure the OP study was, in fact, a joke. So I took it as such.
If, by some stretch of the imagination, there are people out there that fit the model of the results. Well, then I still take it for a joke. A sad joke for sure.

I don't think it was. Check out their website.
https://flashfoxy.com/
Flash Foxy was created to celebrate women climbing with women. I’ve met so many foxy climber babes over the last few years through my local climbing gym, mutual friends and climbing trips and realized how fun and supportive it is to climb with other ladies.
I bet some of the "usual suspects" (their name for regulars) are known to some of the folks on here.

Somehow I get the feeling that women looking at women probably is a non foul in these circumstances.
(edit) I'm learning .......this statement ^^^is the epitome of micro aggression I guess

I'm shocked and saddened.
When the nameless female respondent said: "We get treated differently. We are either condescended upon, hit on or ignored". I was convinced this is a ruse.
My god. What have we done.....
Badass chicks indeed. ppfft
