I think 90% of the horrible things SJWs are accused of is people misunderstanding context.

things like discussions of intersectionality where someone mentions that yes, all women are oppressed, but white women are differently oppressed than women of colour. 90% of the time, the knee jerk reaction is 'OH SO IT SUCKS LESS TO BE A WHITE WOMAN HUH SO I'M NOT ALLOWED TO BE MAD BECAUSE I'M WHITE IS THAT IT HUH HUH' when a) no and b) no and c) no

+1 for you. Some people really can't handle being told it's not all about them.

lol

typical deliberate misreading and self righteous attitude. How else do you get "person being mad at being told it's not all about about you" out of "Hey guys stop fucking making the causes look bad by being total assholes about it" .

Maybe if you actually thought about it, you would see that your SJW behavior alienates possible supporters and just makes outsiders think the entire cause is crazy rather than actually listen and maybe even see that they're right.

But hell some people just can't handle being told that they're doing something harmful and they have spit shit at the person who's telling them.

it depends,

some discussions of intersectionality really do suck, and that happens

other's turn into "well, white women never had any problems, and they still don't and you're only really a Good Female Person if you're non-white.

citation needed please

I see it mostly on tumblr, on the reddpigeon/crackerhell blogs, and their ilk. I can look for more concrete examples, and try and post some of the best ones tomorrow?

but those two are some of the worse. Them and genderbitch. it doesn't matter what you're dealing with, you're white, so obviously you deserve it.

some other reading about the (attempted) erasure of anything bad happening to non-POC people

http://snowwhiteseviltwin.tumblr.com/post/47162613830/stuff-on-a-blog-thisiswhiteprivilege-okay-fine-well

another good tumblr person who collects posts like this is http://special-snowflake-hall-of-fame.tumblr.com/ and http://abhortion.tumblr.com/

i don't always agree with them, but eh, what can you do.

(also, i'm going to ask for citations in return for the premise in the comment I first replied to.

NAYRT. I have the feeling that people who ask for citations or receipts usually don't expect you to be able to provide them - and when you do, they probably won't respond as it undercuts their argument in the first place.

JMO, but there's a difference between someone asking for examples and background, and a terse "citations please". I think the latter doesn't want them, and I wouldn't hold my breath about getting a reciprocal citation back from your other anon.

I also think 93% of statistics are pulled out of thin air, so I don't believe the 90% of SJW wank is actually just misunderstood context. Receipts please! :-P
