Do you think I'm actually belittling people because they think compassion is important?

I think you are using a term built for that to put down someone with strong opinions you may disagree with. You used a term for that person rather than just saying "I met someone who....", no point in using it otherwise.

I think her style of thinking and her opinions are much closer to a fanatical religion or a disease and I think it's extremely harmful to society in ways that other opinions I disagree with, aren't. I feel comfortable saying SJW in this context.

you feel comfortable putting people in boxes? The term did not even exist until an asshole invented it as an insult for people with more compassion than him. When you use this term to describe ANYONE you are guilty of perpetuating the idea that only selfishness is logical.

in your opinion they do, in mine they do too, sometimes, but this does not change the fact that it is opinion, and not factually correct as not 100% of the population agrees.

yes I saw that tweet and indicated I liked it. My objection was not me saying I think she was being unfair to a group or even to the woman, it was an indicator that I thought she was better than using derogatory terms at all, rather than just referring to the woman as a person.

I am not inherently against using labels with negative connotations. I'm sure you've heard me refer to "Christian fundamentalists" before.

Christian fundamentalists generally refer to themselves as Christian fundamentalists. Did she call herself a social justice warrior?

as an ex Christian fundamentalist, we generally considered 'fundamentalist' pretty pejorative.
we never did, and still refer to ourselves that way, but you have a point.
