Dudes, please read this thread by a good dude.
@MalwareJake please let the woman in your story know that she's not alone, and many of us would just listen if she needs to talk. Some form of this has happened to us or someone we know. Thanks Jake for addressing your fellow men.https://twitter.com/MalwareJake/status/976848126987374593 …

As someone who's incorrectly labeled "social justice warrior", when in fact I'm actually a "social justice warlord, driving my enemies before me, hearing the lamentation of the haters", I actually don't think this last line was bad at all. There's some distracting crap out there.

Am I a bad feminist because some things make me eyeroll so hard? No. I choose when and how to engage on matters of equality & refuse to be coopted towards any cause. Where I spend my political capital & energy is my choice.

Absolutely not. That's an awesome framing of it. Framings that delegitimize or further narratives that delegitimize other people's choices about how to advocate for themselves and others aren't so cool though.

(Deleted old ver of that tweet and added "not" because grammatically my reply seemed to say the opposite of what I meant.)

I think "SJW" has taken on more of the old "feminazi" meaning though, in common vernacular. That's how I read his tweet - like hey, this isn't about an extreme position that that label has come to be associated with; this should be the mainstream position of human equality

Last thought: we don't get more allies by nit-picking word choices of ones who are making earnest effort. We're all in evolutionary space-time. Give anyone a break who is trying to help. Talking to fellow men is one of the most effective mechanisms for change. I'm for it.

I agree with this. I just wish he'd left out those comments that are certainly hurtful to some of the people affected by the issue he's talking about.
