This is the very definition of what a "special entitlement" is. They demand special entitlements and work to twist the meaning of words to try to get them. Then they cry how they are being abuses when others push BACK against their demands for equal rights. It is madness. There is no significant group insisting that cars not be made more safe, given the harm tied to them. There is no significant group doing that with roads. Nor pools. Nor food safety laws (though the food industry does try to limit those). There is no significant group pushing to stop research on falls or other common forms of injury and death, and no bans on such research. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
