The term "SJW"
The fact is that without "SJW" types, the US may be a country where AAs aren't permitted to vote or even eat at restaurants, abortion may be federally illegal, and homosexuals may have no rights whatsoever.
Do people sometime take the search for injustice too far? Of course. But more often than not, I can tell you from years of experience, if you aren't of a certain minority - by race, sex, sexual orientation, etc - there likely is something you're missing when you choose to roll your eyes and say "SJW" under your breath. You should really try to examine all perspectives of each issue.
But more importantly, the term "SJW" is almost never used in academia, among real educators or researchers, or highly educated people in general. Using the term usually oughts you as an undereducated, white male, kid (as in less than age 35), who gets most of his news from youtube commentary (no offense to Pakman because his show is amazing, it's just there is a lot of shit on youtube).
