I am semi-depressed as to how thin-skinned and uber-sensitized so many people are today, including my children.........
1. Micro-aggression did not appear in the article linked in the OP.
Perhaps you are uber-sensitized to the phrase?Â
2. Daughters (and sons) complaining when asked to clean their rooms, or anything else, is in no sense a recent phenomenon or a reflection of how people act "today" versus any other time.
3. I suspect your daughters would claim that the microaggression involved here was your request for them to clean up.
