No offense taken - but I think that you have said you felt abused after your experience - I'm not sure that can be translated into the students experience.
"I see it as holding the students accountable to be non-violent to themselves while there is no attendant accountability within the larger community (not just the educational one) to not do violence to them."
My take on it - is students & a community can feel "abused"/victimized by suicide attempts/self-harm - there is a PTSD reaction to those that have experienced this -(see the thread on social as an example) - there can also be an equal reaction by those who attempt suicide/self-harm.
But i do agree - it's complicated between abuser and abused - & it's not clear who is who (or both at the same time?) at any given moment.
"it is you who are condemned for not meeting your community responsibilities of non-violence."
I don't see it as condemning - I see there has to be accountability - how does that happen within a larger community?
We are all responsible for ourselves & our behaviors.
But thanks for clarifying. I'm sorry the article upset you.
