To hell with this. It's insulting and condescending for you to say "SJW" in each and every post and I don't appreciate it. I have considered, informed opinions that aren't spoon fed to me by the media. If I'm going to be called names for my political views then I don't feel any need to refrain from doing the same.
Every time I read "SJW", I'm responding with "stupid inbred bigot douchebag."
Hmm, emotional reasoning will lead you to do that.
SJW stands for Social Justice Warrior — while you might take offence to the implications of those using the term, there is nothing vulgar or inherently insulting about the acronym or words that make it up.
SIBD (stupid inbred bigot douchebag) however is kind of directly derogatory as well as having the implied insult.
The moral of this reply? Don't utilise emotional reasoning on an intellectual discussion forum.

Blah blah blah? I believe that's a fitting response because it certainly seems to me that to justify your condescending demeanor, you are simply saying things that you believe make you sound knowledgeable. Therefore, I deemed it appropriate to respond in kind.
That's not even an interesting argument. The degrees to which words are insulting or vulgar are both subjective and relative. Even if this weren't the case, the implication would not somehow be the sum of the individual words' degrees of either.
To illustrate the above, I ask you to consider the words wife and mother.
I imagine that if you were to ask most people, they would say that neither of these words are by themselves either vulgar or insulting. Now let's use them in two nearly identical statements:
"You have intimate relations with your wife."
"You have intimate relations with your sister."
You're wasting your poorly considered admonishments on me but you do seem to have found a receptive audience among the intellectually bereft political parrots so it's not a complete loss I suppose.
It seems a lot of Americans norms and values haven't progressed since stepping off the mayflower with the other puritans.

IMHO the reason Trump has so much support is because if the title of the post
SJW, screem and moan that gender roles are sexist and evil. They will march, protest, and ban something they think crossed their ever changing line
Yet, if a guy thinks he is a women, and follows the 'trappings' of the 'tyipical' female gender: long hair, make up, clothing, and so on
Not only is it acceptable, it's perfectly normal and should be celebrated.
I can detect emotional reasoning and your post before was saturated in it.

Respond how you like, and you being triggered is quite humorous, do you have any retort for my points? Social justice progressives are indeed fighting for the dissolution of gender roles, which was neatly formed into a coherent thought by the poster I responded to. I don't have a problem with anyone's choices or gender roles, but I do have a problem with being engineered and suppressed into thinking a certain way under the pretentious rosy guise of progress. In other words if I like having a wife in the kitchen and she enjoys cooking for me, do not attempt to dissolve that by calling it misogynistic, or engineering our children into believing gender roles are inherently wrong.

You have formed the logical conclusion to the insanity being pushed by the SJW left and it's quite unsettling, how would you go about forcing people to relinquish their ideas of archetypical gender roles?
