[zlyulfpp] Loaded term safe

Avoid the term "safe", e.g., "safe space", when discussing sexual harassment, because it is a loaded term that inhibits reasonable discussion.  Anyone who dares oppose "safe" becomes labeled as advocating the politically incorrect "unsafe".

"Safe" demonizes the perpetrator of someone made not to feel safe, instead of focusing on the much larger and likely more important reasons why someone feels safe or not safe.
