Now seems a good time to melt this trend by saying:
I'm a snowflake. And so are you. Your children are snowflakes. And so are mine. And those who protest the loudest about not being snowflakes? I can see your six-fold ice crystals from here!
Because every person, empirically, is unique. And special. And flawed. And we are all, at times, fragile. Snowflakery is simply being human, which makes it a pretty flakey insult.

Look, a bunch of snowflakes creates a storm -- a white blanket that covers things so you can't get to what's underneath.
So to those on the right and the left, enough with "snowflake." It's not a cool insult.

"You're fragile and melty!" "No, you're fragile and melty!" is really just another way of saying, "I know you are, but what am I?"

It's fitting that an insult largely aimed at youth has made children of those who use it. "Snowflake" reminds us how much we need climate change … in politics.
