This is the general intent, of course, but people like Adams then turn around and deliberately use the same term for people who think that women getting paid less than men or men calling women "bitches" is a bad thing, so as to minimize these latter two complaints by considering them no different from the more ridiculous "constructed pronoun regulating" complaints. EDIT: As an example, I have seen some people use the term for any advocate who wants to have a serious conversation about "rape culture".

"Social justice warrior" is a politically correct term for "PC police," which is a politically correct term for "I shouldn't face any consequences for my bad behavior."

"Social justice warrior" (or more commonly the abbreviation, which is wordfiltered here) is the catch-all term people who use racist/sexist/etc. slurs use for anyone who objects to them using said slurs, what MRAs consider anyone who isn't an MRA, and so on. Basically it's a terrible phrase used by terrible people. While there are some areas that not-awful people could argue it's worth using (first time I saw people using it was to refer to a scam artist who tried to use their race and gender to silence anyone who criticized them while also being the sort of person who used really nasty racial slurs towards other people, sometimes in the same posts, and said person's defenders and followers), nowadays it's so commonly used by lovely people that it's not worth trying to salvage and instead just something you keep an eye out for, because if someone uses the term unironically there's a very good chance they're an awful person you want nothing to do with.

Exactly so. The shitheads who actually say it are not so subtly implying that anyone who cares about social issues at all are as bad as the worst people who care about social issues.

I greatly enjoy that the answer to her question is, "Yes, but only one of them, and she's only half, and you can't tell by looking at her." Manuel Calavera posted:Dilbert returns to it's regular monotony. The entire premise of this strip is that Dilbert hates his job. Yet he can't concieve why he'd want to ever take a vacation. Scott Adams; however, really loves his job. Who needs a vacation when you have a lot of money and only have to sit down for a couple of hours to bang out a month's worth of strips before going back out to the golf course or the MRA meeting or whatever?

I've met a few co-workers over the years who just never go on vacation, but most of them weren't doing any better career-wise than anybody else. In most cases they'd held the same position for decades, and were super smug about it. Great fun at parties, these folks!
