Re: N!F
(Anonymous) 2012-12-22 03:02 am (UTC)(link)There are a lot of self-proclaimed Social Justice Warriors who a) will not engage with anyone who's ignorant (e.g. "it's not my job to educate"), thereby crippling their social power; b) will not entertain any ideas that differ from their own (e.g. "just as gender is a construct, so is biological sex"), thereby crippling their ideological power; and c) are more concerned with making themselves feel good than with effecting any actual change (e.g. "I shouldn't have to do anything, because your suggestion that I should do something is indicative of institutional racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia"), thereby crippling their transformative power.
This is the reality: Social Justice Warriors are just as poisonous as anti-social justice people. They hinder progress because it is not their primary interest. They are not the "lesser of two evils." You need to seek out people who are interested in social justice for its own sake rather than people who are interested in it only for its potential to self-aggrandize.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-22 05:11 am (UTC)(link)That being said, SJ in and of itself is not a bad thing, and as you pointed out, it's good to seek out people who are interested in SJ for its own sake and not just as a way to feel superior to others/prop themselves up. I promise they exist, and they do good work.

Re: N!F
And, of course, when they hold offensive, oppressive ideas up as progressive and yell about them with equal fervour to truly progressive ones. ('Transwomen aren't women', 'interracial relationships are racist', etc.)
