Social Justice Warriors

[bradsternum]

I go to The New School for Public Engagement in Manhattan. I'm surrounded by this sort of bullshit. Most recently, the college introduced gender-neutral bathrooms. A terrible idea, in my opinion. Just asking for "HE TRIED TO RAPE ME!!!!" bullshit meltdowns.

Why is the term cisgender even necessary? So a man is born a man, and sees himself as a man... what's so special about that? Why even come up with a term for this? This really grinds my gears!

The term has actually been around for ages, it just hasn't been used (and abused) until the advent of the internet.

You can blame Carl Bujis for introducing the term to the internet.

"As for the origin; I just made it up. I just kept running into the problem of what to call non-T*people in various discussions, and one day it just hit me: non-trans = cis. Therefore, cisgendered.

I'm really sick of this Hipster, femnazi, liberal, trendy, politically correct, USI, self-righteous, anti-white male, 16-year-old girl mentality, fag enabling shit. Seriously anyone with half a brain doesn't give shit about their propaganda and find it really fucking annoying. Don't they see that they're just as over-zealous as any fundie (a.k.a the very thing they hate)?

 

[JarlaxleBaenre]

I get a chuckle out of our SJWs' need to continually validate their ideas for themselves rather than learning how to present their ideas in an eloquent fashion. Fortunately, I've never encountered these kind of SJW's in the biology dept. I have, however, met a few people who believe in their ideals and they are quite pleasant to be around.

 

[ChurchOfGodBear]

Because they're special snowflakes and should be respected as such, cis scum! :x

Possibly the thing that pisses me off most, and the reason I ignore these people. I try my best to treat everyone respectfully and equally. I don't care who you are, I will treat you the best I can. If that's not good enough for you, because you think because of who you are you should be treated *better* than everyone else... well, fuck you.

I love how he says "almost". Oh yeah, ADF, you almost did something. Much better than actually doing something. Way to take a stand, you gutless wimp.

 

[CalmMyTits]

Wow. I've read about ADF a few years ago. I see he has only gotten worse since then.

I find it ironic that they denounce privilege, despite the fact that, as college-attending Internet users with the comparative leisure to examine the world's problems (as opposed to merely seeking sustenance) they are privileged by default.

I've always said that the people most concerned with political correctness are scared, guilty white people. Actual minorities are more concerned about REAL discrimination as opposed to what some dude says on his twitter.

Except none of these guys really seem guilty. They all have that vibe of "just finished a semester in Intro to Critical Thinking," which totally gives them a license to run out and tell the world to go fuck itself for all its bullshit.

 

[Trombonista]

You ever see those really grouchy old people that dislike blacks and muslims and think that everyone needs to be Southern Baptist to go to heaven?

This is the retarded, liberal half-cousin of that.

>implying the first group is smart

Seriously, these are just the liberal equivalent of fundies.

 

[Springblossom]

I find it ironic how for such "tolerant" people, they always have to put labels on others.

I find it ironic that they're so big on 'acceptance', and yet they have no problems ranting about how the 'cishetero scum' need to stop breeding so they die out. How dare I be happy with who I was born as?

More to the point, how dare I not apologize for being who I am? And how dare I not feel ashamed of using my sex organs for their biologically intended purpose?

Eh, at least Fundies have the excuse of being indoctrinated since birth. SJW's took a class on something and suddenly consider themselves experts.

So yeah, I'd say SJWs are dumber.

Which would lead to the extinction of humanity, considering we know they can't reproduce.

Real nice exhibition of foresight, good xir.

political discussion, which, as you can probably imagine, were simply Tumblr-esque "I hate Republicans, they should all die" sorts of circle jerks.

Oh yeah... reminds me of when I was dating a lot, and saw someone online say "I want to date someone who is really, really open-minded. Someone who would NEVER vote Republican!" Eehhhhhhmmm... If you won't vote for someone solely because of a letter next to their name, I can't find any way to consider that "open-minded".

Likewise, I had someone tell me "It's obvious you've never taken a feminist literature class, so I can't talk to you about this." EEehhhrrmmm... I thought one of the benefits of having a higher education was to enable you to exchange ideas. If you can't communicate with someone because they didn't take your precious class, then maybe your ideas don't hold up to scrutiny.

Yeah, this "social justice" shit started off as being a fantastic idea, but it's been horribly corrupted. It's morphed into this culture of victimhood, where you just have to show that people who resemble you in some way were horribly treated at some point in the past, and this gives you the unquestionable moral high ground for life. It pisses me off because it blocks off actual conversation and actual progress at getting people who think differently to live and work together. You can't talk to these people, because they presume that because of your gender, sexuality, race, or whatever, you're automatically wrong... and the fact that you don't even know this in advance makes you an asshole..

This.
The whole 'oppression olympics' thing pisses me off to no end and I see it all over tumblr. As an asexual, I see a ton of "oppression olympics" crap coming from SJWs, some even in the LGBT community, who could care less about asexuals when they should be the first ones to support us. But nope, we're not "oppressed" enough for them. It doesn't matter if an ace got raped for refusing sex, nope, they don't care. And they tend to assume all aces are heteroromantic or something too, when a lot of them can be bi/homoromantic, thus having the same problems as homo/bisexual people.
I consider privilege to be more a class/wealth thing than a race thing anyways. I can see where they're coming from with it, but it's horribly corrupted. I can name a bunch of minorities way better off than white ol' me, someone coming from a family who had to sell their house to afford to send their kids to college, but they don't care. I'm still white, cisgendered scum in their eyes, so any hardships I may go through don't matter to them.
Oh, and every time I see the word "cisgender" or "cis," I really wanna kill something.

 

[GGGBYBYBY]

^I see we're a tad Marxist up here however I totally agree, class divides more than anything at times. It doesn't matter what race, gender or sexuality you are, if you lack the funds you mean jackshit to the world.
SJWs take equality and bend the lines to suit them which in itself is contradictory to the cause. It's hardly equality if you scream death at somebody in the privileged majority for just existing.
The problem with Tumblr is everyone tries to bring everything into everything. Especially in the case of SJWs. I've seen posts on all kinds of things where it gets out of hand, one that springs to mind is a Pokemon post where they chastised the games for not having another gender other than girl or boy. Despite the fact it is a role playing game where gender means nothing because it's about grinding monsters. Pokemon is indiscriminate, it doesn't judge a player. Why are they making it an issue?

 

[cypocryphy]

Aren't there only 2 genders no matter how you slice it?

For example, Chaz Bono is male, always has been. Has always identified as male, so he only needs male pronouns. No "Xor/Xaz" shit.

If you're not sure what gender you are, then surely either pronoun could apply to you with no offense? Does it really matter?


Of course I'm hetero cis scum, what do I know?

I think these guys are talking about gender identity, not really physical gender.

 

[cypocryphy]

I know. The gender you identify as is your gender, physical or not. If you don't know which you are, then you really shouldn't be offended by any pronoun, either could apply. is there something wrong with being male or female? No.

 

[Himawari]

Well, the thing is that SJWs tend to assert that there are more than just two genders that one can identify as. Personally I can accept that; if someone doesn't feel that they themselves identifies as male or female, and decides that they feel the need to come up with their own new gender in order to properly label themselves, then that's their prerogative. Just don't get offended when some random stranger on the street can't read your mind and be cognizant of your made up gender and pronouns.

A very good point, and I do agree. But I still don't see why it's a bad thing to be called a male or female. Fuck it, why not just identify as both instead of making up this "xorf/xafz" pseudo-hip bullshit?

I also agree that "privilege" is more about money than anything else. There's no way in hell I'm more "privileged" than Queen Latifah, Frank Ocean, or Ru Paul.
