Agreed, this "safe space" nonsense is really terrifying. Engaging in arguments in a healthy debate environment is absolutely vital for any society that wishes to progress, and that environment is exactly what this "movement" is trying to suppress. What is especially damaging about it is that it is happening in universities out of all places, which are supposed to be one of the few forums where this kind of discourse can take place.

You touch in a very important aspect which is that universities are meant to be (used to be?) the place for new challenging ideas, it's very bad news that the focus is changing.
You're right, a healthy conversation and exchange of ideas is very important and shouldn't be restricted at all, I'm with you there.
