Meh. Just point and laugh at the whiners with the diaper pins on their shirts who need their safe spaces. I do. I also am raising my kids to NOT be whiny snowflakes....They will be the leaders in 20 years while snowflakes kids will be the ones working at McDonalds complaining they are OWED something and its unfair they aren't getting it.

People on internet bulletin boards were just like this in 1992. It's the only place I remember people spewing this nonsense outside of Sociology class.

Kids In The Hall was pretty good, lots of talented comedians in that group.

I remeber seeing this when I was a college student back in the early 90s and thinking how much it reminded me of so many kids on my campus. We had rallies, demonstrations, flag burnings, gay rights rallies, anti war protests, etc. every week.

SJWs are nothing new. not by a long shot. Only social media, and the fact that it has become the primary source for national media stories, has created a critical mass of SJW stories.

If anything, despite the prevalence of these SJWs whining in news stories and the right-wing assertion that these idiots have taken over college campuses, I would say their actual number (if not their influence due to their constant over exposure) is less now than it was then. Kids today seem far more conformist and milquetoast, by and large. But the ones who are raging to change the system are getting zhir (/s) message out far more effectively.

This is what happens when the adults allow the children to dictate the agenda.

Our son (21 y/o university junior) and most of his friends were raised the same way.

They just roll their eyes and laugh at the self-styled, self-important so called SJWs that are always "outraged" or "offended" about something on their campuses.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but after doing a search on SJW, I came upon this and have to say that this was well predicted.
