[Vwoolf] Fwd: trigger warnings

[Jean Mills]

military-speak, and more like it sprang from the loins of the culture of
surveillance, violence, and war, we inhabit, rather than the big, bad
spectre of feminist pedagogy.

Jean (who has to go grade 120 essays, and is feeling very Gerard Manley
Hopkins-ish because of it!)
