[quote=Anonymous]I’m leaning towards no - a derogatory remark about your profession is an insult, plain aggression, or maybe passive-aggression if not said directly to your face. Micro-aggression is more like “oooh you’re so good at that! I didn’t realize people in your field had training for that” said sincerely. Or someone in a higher-ranking position continually calling you by the name of the only other admin (or only other fat person, Asian person, etc). If you’ve ever heard the comparison of microaggressions to “death by a thousand paper cuts”, I think that’s pretty apt. It’s not someone stabbing or poking you, it’s quite accidental and minor in terms of real harm, but it stings a lot, and you feel it when you move. It’s a little different than straight-up rudeness.[/quote]
