This thing SJW is what I am taking about social justice is a bad thing?

Is feminism? Civil rights?

The whole its okay to bully people who are wrong, insane or stupid thing also bothers me. I understand there are people with absurd fringe views but i can't figure out way it matters. I am more bothered by absurd mainstream views.

SJWs *are not* people who merely support equality, civil rights, etc.

They are people who take to the internet to argue in a specious way insane claims that are often based on ideologies that are twisted versions of what a well intentioned person would believe.

A good person believes women are entitled to all the same rights and opportunities as men. An SJW believes in that #killallmen is an appropriate stance.

A good person believes that all genders (of which there are a few: male , female, trans, asexual, etc.) should be treated with basic dignity and respect. An SJW believes that cisgendered men (sometimes the women too) are scum and always oppressive to the other genders (of which there are an infinite number, such as people who claim that their gender is planet).

In regards to the term "Social Justice," it has become meaningless, as it identifies nothing with any specificity. It's become a left-leaning buzz word, pure and simple, because it sounds nice.
