Examples

“University students in particular became a target for derision. A Republican lawmaker in Iowa, who accused protesters of throwing "temper tantrums," introduced a bill called "Suck it up, Buttercup," which would levy fines against state schools that offered "cry rooms" and other election-specific counseling services (David 2016; Hoover 2016).”

“[…] students could not “deal” with what had just happened. These same colleges and universities found themselves installing “cry rooms” and “safe places” where students could go to be alone with their emotions. Give me a break!”
