With certain feminists it's men, with those in the LGBT movement it's the CISgendered or straights, and with minority groups it's the whites or the police force.So, it's not so much that you feel that their behavior is unjustified or hypocritical..but.rather, that it's not useful or helpful. That they're too reactionary, and thus, regressives? It would be these people, specifically, which you apply the term sjw to.
These SJWs treat their perceived adversaries like sexists, bigots and racists treat them. As if they are all that way. Or at least enough of them are as to justify their behavior.
Sure, what goes around comes around is fair enough I suppose. Unless one is looking to actually better these issues.
Quote:Depends on what we're talking about, radical feminism in the States, Canada and most of the 1st World? Yes I'd say that it's fair to say they're SJWs. Third wave "intersectional" feminism is basically the oppression olympics. Just ask Sarkeesian and her pals, everything is sexist everything is offensive.Two people with exactly the same povs, who act in the same way..one's an sjw, and the other isn't. This can be determined by geography?
Radical feminists in Islamic states where feminism can actually do some much needed good? Definitely not.
Quote:*my emphasis*A slippery slope, you reckon?
You're exactly right with the bolded bit, except for one niggling thing on that last bit. Where do we draw the line on bigotry?
Quote:In the video we're met with the banning of a woman (Julie Bindle) who had been working for women's rights for years, now banned from speaking because of a difference in opinion on transgender issues.People working for women's rights are capable of holding bigoted opinions..capable of being bigots. Is Julie Bindle an sjw , for acting like the racists? She's got some amusing "opinions" on bisexuality as well.
Quote:Does that seem like social justice to you? Are we to have differences in opinion (not hate speech) become bigotry if they're different from a certain group's view?I'd be the wrong person to ask, I don't see bigotry as "just another opinion". If I see someone working towards equality I see a good job being done..but I don't believe that they have to be exceptional people, right on every other issue, or in agreement with me on some other issue. In short, I don't require that they be The Good Ones.
Quote:I think a large part of third wave feminism is comprised of SJWs. I say "think" because that has been my experience with them, and the experience of many others, but I know anecdote doesn't always describe reality at large.Do you think it would be fair to say that a large portion of your comments regarding sjws are..more accurately, criticisms of feminism and feminists?
Quote:The threat of unprovoked violence that came along with this one was especially distasteful to me.It wasn't unprovoked. He was asked not to film some specific location by the protesters for a reason that they thought was compelling. He didn't find it compelling. He was then asked to leave, he didn't want to leave. Like I said, I'm on his side on this one..but there's no need to distort the reality of the situation and how it happened. I think that, as with the example of Laci Green, you might be omitting a significant portion of the narrative....which, ironically, was exactly what the protesters worried about in regards to media presence.
Quote:I think that safe spaces present more issues than one might originally think, but they don't really become censorship until something like this occurs. This entire fiasco is like a living representation of what can go wrong with "safe space". Wanting to have a space where a group can come together offering solace and an echo chamber is one thing, I don't particularly care aside from finding it ridiculous on its face, but when you do it on public grounds -during a large protest no less- and then threaten violence on the people around you for doing their jobs? That's a big fucking problem, it's beyond censorship to me, it's entitlement and a breeding ground for more needless violence.Safe spaces as breeding grounds for violence? Really? Of all the criticisms I'd offer for safespaces.....I've gotta say, that aint one of em. I think, if they wanted it to be private, they should have taken it to private space as well, though, lol.
Quote:I've said before that SJWs are defined to me by their actions and how they go about supporting their ideals (typically ideals of a liberal/humanitarian nature). Given why they were there, the safe space "no outsiders allowed" mindset of the crowd, and Click's volatile, borderline violent, reaction to the reporter (read outsider) are hallmark signs of SJW mentality.So it is a dumpster term, and could apply to people whose ideologies share nothing in common, and might not apply when peoples ideologies and actions are in alignment but their geography is disparate?
SJW means..."people you disagree with", chiefly feminists, but sometimes not. Looking at all of the above, can you tell me why I shouldn't consider you an sjw by your own use and description of the term?
