A U.K. student feminism conference is asking attendees to refrain from clapping and use "jazz hands" instead so as to not trigger anxiety in others.
The National Union of Students (NUS) Women's Campaign announced the clapping "ban" at the West Midlands conference on Twitter Tuesday, shortly after receiving a request from the Oxford University Women's Campaign.
"@nuswomcam please can we ask people to stop clapping but do feminist jazz hands? it's triggering some peoples' anxiety. thank you!" Oxford representatives wrote (//vny!s://twitter.com/womcam/status/580389025892175872).
