You can't tell me what is or isn't a safe space, amirite?

When someone says "this is a safe space" they're not ordering you to feel that it is a safe space, they're indicating that the people in the space have collectively agreed to try and be a place that listens rather than judges. I think you've just misinterpreted the intention of the statement.

You definitely need one that's for sure.

I just find the entire phrasing of "safe space" annoying. I find it pretentious. I don't care what you do in your spaces as long as you don't involve me.

You aren't involved by default?

If I tell you "My home is a safe space"....it's me telling you that you CAN feel open and honest there. I'm not demanding you open up or be honest, I'm telling you that at least for as much as I have the ability to influence it, there won't be judgment (within reason) for what you share or feel there. If you don't feel safe, that's okay. I'm sorry that you don't, but that's okay.

Practice saying this space is mine, leave it.

Safe spaces aren't real they're just spaces

Better than saying this space is an active threat to your well being, it's a term of endearment man, not a forceful method of getting you to share.

Which fine! If everybody loves this terminology then you all can have heaps and bounds of fun, this is simply my opinion on phrasing I don't like.
