(Blank) people don't get to decide what (blank) is.

Today, it's no longer "my opinion vs your opinion" it's "me as a virtuous person vs you as an evil person". It's a way of avoiding debate that also serves as an ego defense mechanism.

Men have no say over the abortion issue.

There was an article recently about a university student group in England that has banned white people from a racism seminar. Why? Because they are trying to be anti racist! Never mind that white people are the Indigenous of England or that excluding one group due to skin colour is racism in itself.

Just the other week there was a Leftard on this forum making fun of Melina Trump's English skills/accent. If you did the same to anyone else they would scream racism at you.

These people are like religious zealots who believe their scripture just because they are told to. They can't think for themselves which is really scary.

The best way to counter them (if at all) is to just keep throwing the truth and logic in their face. Their ideology can't handle scrutiny.

P.S Homophobia as a made up word doesn't even make sense. Homo means the same, human. Phobia means fear. I am not scared of men or humans.

Another thing you get is "All white people are racist/white privilege" given non white/non Christian people flock to our countries it would seem we aren't all that bad. You don't get too many white folk wanting to go live in the Middle East or Asia. Makes you wonder again who the real racists are if we were to apply PC nutter logic to non White countries and non white people.

I get where you're coming from. Imo, definitions generally maintain their integrity no matter what the race, sex or class of the person facing prejudice. In other words, men can be treated with sexism, white people can be racially discriminated against, etc. These arguments are often just an easy and lazy way to silence people when openly discussing issues would help us more than not discussing them at all.

But, on the other side of that, I do see the complexity behind such arguments.

For example, white people using the n-word just because they want to use it and are technically allowed to doesn't mean they should. Also, I don't like when people who don't even know the basic tenets of feminism or speak to feminists make constant throwaway comments like "those silly feminists think a, b and c" or "feminists are always doing x, y and z." So I'm pretty sure I've said something along the lines of "learn the definition of feminism before you speak for feminists."

it is indeed becoming more & more prevalent, & i think it can be mainly attributed to the rise of intersectional thinking among the smart people of our world. this belief that you need to subdivide people by race & sex & every other attribute to determine where you sit in the hierarchy of privilege has become the default position on campus, & i'd say it's quite a cancerous way of thinking.

it matters less & less what the facts are, whether you've thought through your position & are well reasoned, & more and more what counts is your victimhood status.

it seems like a pure path to madness to me, but no one asked me.

Another good conversation killer is "First world problems".

Breathing people don't get to decide what "dead" is.

SJW is a disease.
