I get your meaning.  The term "snowflakes," when applied to people, refers to those who are of fragile or of delicate constitution, and are easily hurt.  That refers to having their feelings hurt, not being physically hurt.  Such people tend to whine about how life is treating them, and they tend to demand "rights" that are not rights at all.  They tend to insist on having privileges they do not deserve, such as demanding to have a say in the operation of a political party that they refuse to be a part of.  So in this instance, at least, I believe my use of the term "snowflakes" is highly appropriate.  Also, sadly, a much greater percentage of the population falls into the category of "snowflakes" with each passing year.  People used to know how to "take it on the chin," and "turn the other cheek," and "man/woman/cowboy/etc up," and "keep a stiff upper lip," and I could go on all day with the euphemism that all mean to face life boldly when things don't go your way.  Not anymore. :-(
