Did anyone else see this snippet tucked away in back pages? Apparently organisers at the NUS Women's Conference - following a request from Oxford University delegates - have asked delegates to use jazz hands instead of clapping as its making delegates frightened.
Quote:
'Whooping is fun for some, but can be super inaccessible for others, so please try not to whoop! Jazz hands work just as well. Clapping is triggering anxiety.'
In the words of Victor Meldrew, 'I don't believe it!' Poor, fragile flowers.
I'm going to bed now - my head hurts!
