yup, and it's nothing new. When I started at the place where I work (around 4 years ago) my boss told me that the company was a "safe space" for the people working there. I assumed it meant they were socially progressive on some level, since who else uses that phrase? after a while I realized he meant it's a safe space for conservative cishet white guys to air out their grievances against "lesser" people, and if you were one of those and felt uncomfortable with it, nothing would be done so they can maintain the "safe" atmosphere for everyone else.
