Campus Reform

Indiana University Southeast is encouraging students to say “ouch!” to others who use “offensive” language, in order to convey that the words “had a negative impact” on them.

The university publishes and maintains a guide instructing students on how to “reduce bias in language” and offers some tactics for responding to others who use language they find offensive. One of these tactics is to “say ‘ouch!’” to others who utter “stereotypes, offensive or biased comments.” The university asserts that saying “ouch!” in these situations is an effective tool “simply to convey what was said had a negative impact on you, regardless if it was directed toward you.”

The university offered examples of language that may require such a response including phrases like “man and wife” or simply “wives,” as well as “mothering. These phrases can supposedly “imply one group dominating over another group.” The university suggests instead that students use phrases like “husband and wife,” “spouses,” and “parenting.” More

  1. How do you say “ouch” after you’ve had you teeth knocked in? These prissy, soy-boy, snowflake, millennial ass-wipes are just asking for it.
    I’m really glad I’m just a few years (or sooner) away from leaving this world.
    I detest seeing what our country is becoming.

  5. My mom used to tell us kids: If you come crying to me over something that trivial again I am going to give you something worth crying over. Now get the hell back outside and play with the rest of the kids while I am trying to make dinner.

  6. “Use your words, children.”

    “Ouch. Oweee. Waaaaah!”

    “What’s wrong with you?”

    “Your words hurt me!”

    “Bend over, you little twerp, and I’ll show you what hurts.”

  7. JD Hasty, my mom said the same thing. Old school moms who took no prisoners and no guff were the best. And besides she was very good at patching up all our boo boos (ouch!) when we injured or hurt ourselves when we (my 3 younger brothers and myself) were out and about being boys and doing all the things that boys do. Its a good thing we never had a sister other than her name would’ve been Willie Lee and that would’ve been like having been Larry on Newhart with his brothers Darrel and Darrel. Hi, I’m Jeff and these are my 3 brothers and my sister Willie Lee.

    My mom could pilot the 63 Galaxie 500 406 Tri Power or later a 65 Galaxie 500 390 4 bbl down a Montana highway at near the century mark, passing cars while turned around slapping down three kids and lighting a cigarette.

  10. They have been doing this for decades.

    In the telco we weren’t allowed to call dykes “dykes”, we HAD to call them “side cutters”. And in the CATV world we weren’t allowed to call motherboards “motherboards”, so we called them cuntboards (Comp U tatio N al Terminal boards). It didn’t go over so well, but by that time everyone was sick of the “person hole covers” and all that bullshit. I had a nice steel “Telephone Men Working” sign that used to put my second level into near hysterics… now that I think about it that may have been why the whore took my 1976 leather backed Bashlin climbing belt (even though it met all telco specs). She was just being a cuntboard.

  11. I’m still pissed about that belt. It was an actual left-handed belt, too. The old style belts I had to wear upside down, and cut the tool tabs off and re-rivet them so my linesman wrench and tool pouch were on the correct side. And it was a Bashlin belt, which was an oddity for an issue belt. We were normally issued some other company’s belt that was made of some plastic coated faux wool. Another B company. I can’t remember the name… but those belts never “broke” in. Just the plastic would flake from the faux wool and cut the piss out of you.

  12. My mom had a wicked backhand which I got smacked with real hard when I didn’t turn down Country Joe and the Fish singing the Fish cheer from the Woodstock album fast enough when they got to the gimme an F part when she walked in the door after work. I never did that again. However she did like some of the music as long as it wasn’t too loud or obscene.

  13. I say, “Ouch” in retort to your your, “Ouch”.

    The future of campus communication:
    Ouch, ouch-ouch = A
    Ouch-ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch = B
    Ouch-ouch, ouch, ouch-ouch, ouch = C
    Ouch-ouch, ouch, ouch = D
    Ouch = E
    Ouch, ouch, ouch-ouch, ouch = F
    And so on to Z, 0 ~ 9, and punctuation.

    Let’s see. Ouch would be:
    ouch-ouch ouch-ouch ouch-ouch, ouch ouch ouch-ouch, ouch-ouch ouch ouch-ouch ouch, ouch ouch.

    And the ever popular FU:
    ouch ouch ouch-ouch ouch, ouch ouch ouch-ouch.
