I don't disagree with most of what the video says but the Donglegate issue was not about sexist jokes at PyCon. For those who don't know much about that incident, basically, PyCon is a boring trade conference for code monkeys - two guys were making lame puns about dongles (a computer thingie majigee) and dongs (American slang for penis) to one another. A tech developer named Adria Richards eavesdropped on their private conversation and felt offended by it, so instead of confronting them and telling them to keep it down, did the incredibly mature thing and took their picture and tweeted it to her 15K twitter followers. This got the two guys thrown out of the conference and fired. Here is the thing: you are well within your rights to not like dumb penis jokes at a Tech conference (I for one would never stoop to such loathsome behavior as making bad puns to a friend during a long conference!), but publicly shaming them with the intent of getting them fired seems a bit... excessive, dontchathink? This is in no way justifies the doxxing and death threats Adria received afterwards, but there has to be a sense of proportionality. If it makes you that uncomfortable, approach them and tell them you were offended by it, not just whip out your camera and take their picture so you can use them as a scapegoat for all the problems in the tech industry (which don't begin or end with dongle jokes). I don't have a problem with what Mike said about feminism, which is mostly true, but it is quite disingenuous to slander those two guys as sexists. Also, what's the deal with fedoras? Firstly, I don't really see people wearing fedoras IRL, but when did it become shorthand for "someone I dislike"? I see it used by feminists online to describe MRAs and also see it used by online MRAs to describe so called SJWs. The only consensus I ever see about fedoras is that the people who wear them are all fat and unattractive Beta males... I can understand MRA "redpillers" saying that, cause that's what they do, but what's with feminists doing it? To me it mostly just comes across as fatshaming guys who are socially awkward and unattractive. More on reddit.com

The problem is that the term means different things to different people, and there are conflations (many times intentional conflations). Within more progressive circles, social justice warriors are folks who show up ready to talk but unwilling to listen, armed with a few articles of knowledge on things like oppression but really lacking in the necessary depth of knowledge to speak from a place of authority. they're very quick to recognize their own oppression, but are slow to recognize their own privilege, and they prefer simple binaries to the reality that in society most people are a combination of privileged and oppressed, and that privilege and oppression aren't even black and white (if you'll pardon the pun) concepts. Often, these are people who aren't coming from a place of empathy, but are rather looking for an opportunity to strike out against perceived oppressors, get positive attention from peers, and build themselves up by breaking other people down. They're seen as counterproductive elements within movements like the civil rights movement and feminism. While they're often shown patience, because we all start from a place of not understanding, eventually they're expected to stop acting only in their own interests. Within more conservative circles, social justice warriors are folks who nitpick elements of our culture, real or imagined, to blow way out of proportion and turn into their own pet projects, largely for ego. They're hypocrites for calling out things like racism and sexism and heterosexism while going so overboard that they become racist and sexist and heterosexist themselves, in the other direction. They want to control culture, to infringe on individual freedom of people to make jokes or enjoy entertainment media, to make things which are ultimately harmless into essentially mortal sins. They're seen as overbearing culture police, and are given zero patience and are often bullied. It's a term of marginalization, an ad hom to distract from the argument and reduce someone to a caricature. So what makes someone a social justice warrior? It depends on who you ask. Obviously these two definitions are almost entirely different, and that leads to problems because people can be discussing two entirely different things. If someone calls me a social justice warrior, I have to ask myself, perhaps from the context, what it is they actually mean. Are they suggesting it's time for me to reread Patricia Hill Collins to refresh my understanding on intersectionality? Or do they want to marginalize and make fun of me without responding to my argument? More on reddit.com
