Yes, actually. People forget that when you're not a minority, SJ issues are not the center of your life, and often aren't even in the peripheral zone. Being an ally or not is a whim for those kinds of people, and quite frankly sometimes people are just easily swayed or affected. I'd rather they be swayed in my favor rather than against it.
people are going to think I'm just like them and dislike me
Which is, again, the point I'm trying to make - the Feminazi trope social conservatives love to use to discredit real feminists is really hard to disprove when SJWs are going around acting exactly like that trope. They don't accomplish anything in favor of feminism (or any other social issue) and just add fuel to the bigots' fire.

As if an annoying group is the reason people like Rush Limbaugh, iirc, even coined that term. They discredit because they disagree with these ideas. They pretend you're censoring them, and pull out whatever misconception they want to apparently prove their points. As far as I'm reading so far, you seem to be getting at sjws doing more harm than the bigots that fuel that fire.

Again, most of us within these minorities probably grew up using some variation of bigoted language before we learned better, and most of us probably grew up with a few stereotypes before we learned better. Some people learn this stuff later than others. When they do learn this stuff, I'd rather it be someone reasonable who will at least take a moment to stop and say, "I know you think it's just a word, but using it is harmful. Not hurtful - harmful. Here's why, and please try not to use it again," instead of immediately shouting "OMG you fucking racist/sexist/homophobe/whatever". I don't think every person I stop and talk to will listen, I don't even think most will - but the few that will listen are above and beyond a good reason to take a second before I get my rage on.
Talking gets us all a lot more friends than yelling.
