It is standing up for someone being oppressed because of a factor they cannot control, including sex, gender, race, ethnicity, and other traits, because everyone deserves to be treated like a human being.

What it isn’t:

Attempting to oppress and/or generalize any demographic based on some basis that their majority, or social superiority, whether accurate or not, as a means to lift up those demographics that have been historically oppressed. Men don’t commit sexist antics towards women, shitty people do. White people don’t flex their means to keep black people in poverty, shitty people do. Straight people aren’t pushing legislation to allow discrimination to LGBT persons, shitty people are. Considering this to be an antithesis is extremely ignorant.

Current social justice trends, and the current social justice movement, will never be anything less than extremist idealism until you stop regurgitating a narrative to divide us by sex, gender, race, and sexual orientation, and start dividing yourselves from specific individuals who are specifically shitty.
