Yup. Two of the 3 great rules of life are "Always no how to get out of a situation" and "Always know when". The 3rd "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" is less universal but should be followed.

I was with her about not having to put up with dickheads, but she lost me when it got to the garbage SJW white supremacist, patriarchy stuff. That's taking it way too far and is harmful. She literally said she has reasons to always feel "uncomfortable". So basically the world is bad and she has a reason to alway be a victim if she chooses. At that point my attitude changed to "suck it up" because she will only give credence to one side of the issue. Learning to deal with the world as it already is is also a vital skill and I fear she's telling people it's not needed.
