I am opening my analysis with this extremely personal anecdote because it serves as a great example of the “safe space” mentality that is taking colleges across the United States by storm. She reported it to the university, where it later became a Title IX sexual assault investigation - because I used the word “bitch.” They called it gender-based harassment. It was not my smartest idea, as it got back to her pretty quickly. In a fit of anger, I called her some very nasty, choice words on a public platform. We’d never really gotten along, but that day, she pushed me to my limit. Back in April, at the end of my sophomore year, I had a fight with my next door neighbor. I’m sure this is a fairly unconventional way to begin a rhetorical analysis, but let me explain. I’m currently in trouble with Syracuse University.
