    My interpretation was thick shin being wearing feelings on sleeves and I had zero thoughts of racism or misogyny.
    A few of my kids wear their feelings on their arm sleeves and are very sensitive to this and that as an example.

    A learning experience then. It is used by people in today's world to describe folks that take things like racist jokes too sensitively. And it's bullshit.

    It's not up for debate on if thick skin is used to defend those things. That's a fact.

    Probably wouldn't have hurt her so badly if she just had thicker skin.

    Definition of thick skin
    : an ability to keep from getting upset or offended by the things other people say and do She has pretty thick skin when it comes to criticism. If you want to perform publicly, you'll need to grow a thicker skin.

    When someone pulls a gun because another motorist's window cleaning fluid got on their car, when the occupant if the white house threatens legal action against Saturday Night Live because they satirized him, yes, those people need a chill pill. When I get upset over reference to Nazi Holocaust and get told not to get my panties in a bunch, the problem isn't me.

    Yes. That fits exactly what I said it is being used as.

    Racist and homophobic things are things people can say. People can get offended from it. And people can tell them to get thicker skin.

    That is wrong. Thicker skin is not an excuse for being an asshole.

    That's common for anyone that works in customer service.

    Main thing, regardless of what technique you choose, is that you finish it off with a good wipe.

    Leader of book burning efforts in Texas has a gay son whom she threw out of the house and banned from all family gatherings because she is a Christian.

    She has proposed, to applause from Daughters of the Confederacy or whatever they call themselves now, that a local Christian pastor approve or disapprove all library books.

    We can presume she means a white right wing pastor, not Raphael Warnock.

    Seems like a lot of you on here need to get some thicker skin (in no way shape or form is that meant to be a homophobic, sexist, racist, ageist, ableist or whatever other 'ist comment)!

    A Pennsylvania man issued death threats against FBI, then taunted them with "come and get me".

    So they did.
