Topic: Micro Insult

The discussion explores the definitions of microaggressions, micro-assaults, and micro-insults as defined by the University of New Hampshire. Examples include questioning a person's need for a wheelchair or commenting on the smell of a guide dog. The hosts also review "micro-affirmations," a term coined by Mary Rove at MIT, which includes small acts of kindness like opening doors, which the hosts joke could be interpreted as sexist.
