Do you disagree with that basic underlying idea? Or do you think that there's a similar structural inequality that operates in this instance which this kind of talk is enforcing?

(Anonymous) 2016-06-25 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)1) From an intellectual point of view, SJW ideas put too much emphasis on power in society and language rather than individual liberty; this leads away from equality in society on principle.
2) In practice, SJW ideas set up a hierarchy of victimhood that is fundamentally reproduces the problem with the original structural inequality.
That makes sense, and the one question I have is that I'm not entirely sure that you have the same thing in mind that SJWs do when they talk about structural inequality. They usually refer to something pretty broad-reaching that touches language but also has to do with things like systemic poverty, violence, discrimination, etc. Do you view that kind of broad-reaching structural inequality as existing in your case? Or do you reject that kind of broad understanding of structural inequality? Or some other position

Oh, absolutely. I'm a liberal, after all. I would love to see them actually address these real-life issues. They seem more interested in policing language, though.
