Actually, SJW as a term originated sort of the way people use "white feminist" now. It was for abusive social justice bloggers who would talk over the people they claimed to be protecting, accuse them of being white-identified or have internal misogyny, even if they were themselves white.

The term was closer to armchair activist or slacktivist than ever being about someone trying for equal rights.

Cracked actually summed it up http://www.cracked.com/blog/3-controversial-words-weve-drained-meaning_p2/

Yep. It grew out of Racefail, 4chan just latched onto it at some point and then distorted the meaning. The first place I saw it was [community profile] fail_fandomanon, where the users needed a shorthand for "people who are misusing the language/tools of social justice without really understanding them -- or, worse, deliberately misusing those tools because it gives them a smokescreen to abuse people."

Yep! I first heard this term being used years ago on fail_fandomanon for the same reasons you state. Reddit and 4chan are way behind the times in turning 'SJWs' into their personal boogeyman.
