I'm not afraid of that happening and here's why: even they don't know what they want.
They have no structure. They can't even describe what constitutes oppression.
I'm a feminist and I'm vegan and I still don't get her point. Does she even have a point? This is one of those times I wonder...
Am I high? Or are they high?
You can see the infighting already happening now. The "movement" will implode.

Unfortunately, this is what society has "progressed" to. There must always be a victim, and there must always be an oppressor, even if only imagined. This is a crutch weak minded people use to explain away the choices they or others make, and instead shift the blame onto someone else.
Regardless of whether you buy into this or not, teaching our youth that they cannot get ahead in life because of some supposed systematic bias against them will never help them succeed. It will only make them resentful of others, and make others resentful of them.
Now it is apparently mandatory in some institutions curriculum to be taught this. Just what we need. More impressionable minds being warped into believing that no matter what they do, or how hard they work, they can never get ahead.
I have asked many self proclaimed SJW's to point out any law or policy that has an inherent racial or sexist bias against minorities. Still waiting.
Because I can most definitely point out many laws and policies that are biased against men and whites in this modern era. But you can't bring this up to them, because you have "privilege" bleh.
Keep in mind some of these people are Ivy League students no less, and they still claim that because of the color of my skin, mixed with the genitalia I was born with, I somehow automatically have a higher social status than they could ever hope to.
At the end of the day it's just whining. Let them keep bitching about whatever next thing isn't PC enough, while their parents hang their gender studies degree on the fridge and give them a big pat on the back for participation.
