My sister is an SJW pt. 1
(TL;DR first part of my coverage of my sisters ongoing transformation into an SJW)
"...and I think I'll minor in Women's studies and get into that whole Feminist, Social Justice Warrior stuff"
She said that yesterday, and I almost **** my pants. She's slowly becoming one of them. She's been on tumblr for a long time, but only recently did she decide to shave half her head (first warning sign), and she's started being hypersensitive to any jokes that involve sex or appearance and women. She's starting with unfair gender biased definitions of objectification, that its not okay for a guy to talk about a girl in relation to her sex appeal, but she can say I want that guy, and post pictures of attractive men everywhere and that's not objectification.
She's doing the dumb feminist thing and creating the opposite gender inequality from what there is now, instead of doing the smart feminist thing, and advocating for equality rather than ultimate female empowerment.
What concerns me most is how her attitude seems to reflect that of some of the more outspoken and leading feminists out there. Personally, being a gamer myself, I'm just waiting for her to pick up on the Sarkeesian side of GamerGate and start haranging me about it.
I just thought I'd put this out here, thumbs down if you don't want to see any more of this, otherwise i'll keep going when there's more to talk about.
