I'm actually with you on this one. Some might remember my thread on internet shaming culture. Very much related to SJW:s. It has really gotten to a point where I don't really associate Social Justice with anything positive. It's a rallying call for internet bullies, and has very little to do with anything positive anymore.
To put it bluntly, "Social Justice" is a license to be #### to other people and get applauded for it.
The worst of that phenomenon seems to be over though. People have caught on to what's been going on, and that's taking the largest audiences from the bullies.
One thing I have taken from that SJW/internet shaming discussion is that I try to be more a lot more picky about what I turn into "a big deal". Like this joke. Yeah, I think it's dumb, lame, offensive and sexist, and I'm somewhat glad
somebody bothered to talk about it.
But I would not have bothered. At the end of the day it's just a joke.
