Two sociologists detail ‘The Rise of Victimhood Culture’ - and how it’s used for social control

https://www.thecollegefix.com/two-sociologists-detail-the-rise-of-victimhood-culture-and-how-its-used-for-social-control/">In 2014, Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning, associate professors of sociology at Cal State Los Angeles and West Virginia University, respectively, published a scholarly article titled "Microaggression and Moral Cultures" that detailed the rise of a "victimhood culture."





Sure enough, a paper that discussed microaggressions in what many perceived as a negative light was denounced as — wait for it — a microaggression.



Critics took umbrage to their "victimhood" terminology, with one reader calling their paper "tenuous and capricious" and that it "[size=120]is itself a microaggression," actually "closer to a real aggression." [/size]





In 2015, the two sociologists filed a solicited op-ed to the online magazine TechCrunch titled "Microaggressions and the Moralistic Internet." The editor they worked with initially praised the column, telling them it would run soon. A month later he told the two professors their column was spiked.



While the term "victimhood culture" was not coined by the two scholars, they write in their book that they have uniquely classified it as "a moral culture distinct from honor and dignity cultures."



The two approach the topic with a dispassionate and scholarly tone in their nearly 300-page book, but it's clear their take on the subject has riled feathers, with some peers arguing terms such as honor and dignity have positive connotations while victimhood does not.



"Our terminology is intended to help describe what is going on, not to praise or condemn it," they write as a rebuttal.

"victimhood culture" was not coined by the two scholars, they write in their book that they have uniquely classified it as "a moral culture distinct from honor and dignity cultures."

That is so true and so pervasive where I live.



And what a shock they were spiked from social media.
