As long as the goal is equality for all, people will continue to be disappointed.
The goal should become not just to accept each others differences, but to embrace them.
Only then are we going to be able to contemplate such an abstract notion as justice, social or otherwise.

Eta grammar

I had a resume sent my way via e-mail and LinkedIn that they were a social justice warrior from 2008 to current. She didn't get the interview.

Ehhhhhh. No.

Acceptance is great. But the problem today, as we saw in the Yale video clip, is that people get offended, not because someone is discriminating against them, but merely because someone isn't picking up their cause and embracing it as their own.

Ehhh yeah. We in fact are not all the same. To be expected to be treated equally socially is an unrealistic expectation. Of course there is a minimum standard of equality but that's not what I'm talking about.
When society finally, many years from now embraces our differences like we embrace the rainbow of colors of fish in an aquarium, only then can we confront injustice.
Doing otherwise would be putting the cart before the horse.

I will not eat until every major US bank gives you the money you feel you deserve and admits to their monetary privilege. Please announce your struggle on Twitter so that it counts.

SJW's don't exist. We all find our trigger and fire. You included, as an example, for creating this thread.

What are you wanting to win with your anti-SJW campaign, Liberal-Wannabe?

Not gonna happen, I'm way too weight obsessed to let it.



I've had dreams where I was really fat in the dream and couldn't get off the couch because I was so fat. That's how weight obsessed I am.

I'm not a warrior.

But of course I believe in tearing down walls of oppression, giving voice to people of color and stopping the horror of halloween costumes that appropriate the cultures of my fellow human beings.

Not everyone is even though and it's silly to think we are. With that being said, everyone in the USA has an opportunity to improve their situation if they aren't happy with it.

Nope,
