I came across this via Obo the Clown on Twitter and thought it was good, especially given it concerned idiotic policies at the University of Manchester. I particularly liked this bit:
But words can maim, as proven by the recent disturbing video showing a female SJW reacting to the words ‘Hugh Mongous’ as if she’s been kicked in the tits. But while we outright condone micro-aggressions aimed at working-class students based on their race or gender, it’s perfectly legitimate and not micro-aggressive at all to smear them as knuckle-dragging racists one Sun headline away from setting fire to a mosque.
Luckily, the job criteria was simple: the successful applicant need merely ‘identify’ as working-class, leaving the door open for Princess Eugenie to apply just as long as she woke that day and decided she was a brickie called Keith. Because actual experience is no substitute for imagined empathy and it’d be a sad day if the student union discriminated against a plethora of capable candidates just because they’d never eaten a kebab, appeared on Jeremy Kyle or drowned one of their illegitimate children in a bath-tub.

Time for everyone to slum it, methinks.
I often self-identify as a genius, raconteur and all-round good fellow. But yes, I am micro-aggressed because no one agrees with any of it.
I am so upset at this I might just go off to M/Cr Uni and apply by self-identifying as a lad who once lived in the city (when in fact I lived in Salford. No, no sniggering at the back!)
“a female SJW reacting to the words ‘Hugh Mongous’”
Thank goodness she wasn’t exposed to Yuge Mongous.
No, no sniggering at the back!
What about belly-laughs?
