^{Please think of archiving links to sites that are known to have biased and/or negative representations of men, masculinity, and men's rights -- i.e. The Guardian, Slate, The Telegraph, Cracked, BuzzFeed, Vox, Vice, Break, Bustle, Medium, Mic, Huffington Post, and so on. Or to articles and/or sources that may be controversial, which may be altered and/or removed because of our current culture of censorship. https://archive.is/}

I'm sorry, but we're talking grown adults, here, who have paid for an education, have the syllabus, bought the books from the book store and are presumably capable of Googling the books and getting a synopsis before reading them.

The onus should always be on the adult student, not the professor. Spoon feeding them rather than reiterating to them, over and over, that they are adults and should be protecting themselves, isn't helping anything.

For someone who has experienced major trauma, vivid reminders can serve to induce states of body and mind that are rationally eclipsing in much the same manner. A common symptom of PTSD is panic attacks. Those undergoing these attacks may be flooded with anxiety to the point of struggling to draw breath, and feeling disoriented, dizzy and nauseated. Under conditions such as these, it’s impossible to think straight.
