“Imagine your friend says they do have a dog allergy so you agree to keep your dog out of your living room and vacuum everything so there’s no dander. THAT’s a safe space.
“That’s what you assholes are against.” —Ali Barthwell
Please also note that the friend was invited,
and the dog was not put in any certain danger by being kept out of one room.
The dog is not illegal,
or less of a dog,
and if your conservative nextdoor neighbor wants to roll around on a pile of dogs insisting that allergies aren’t real, the vacuuming is not a threat to their freedom to be ridiculous in their own house –
BUT
we can’t actually make all of society into a pile of dogs,
any more than we can remove them all, and allergies are not going anywhere.
That’s the point of having spaces.
