I'd like to propose that qualifying as a "social justice warrior" is, in fact, an intellectual disability. "Intellectual disability" is defined as "below-average intelligence or mental ability and a lack of skills necessary for day-to-day living." Now, before forming an opinion, what specific symptoms define an intellectual disability?

First, there's the factor of intellectual functioning. "Also known as IQ, this refers to a person’s ability to learn, reason, make decisions, and solve problems."

Secondly, we have adaptive behaviors. "These are skills necessary for day-to-day life, such as being able to communicate effectively, interact with others, and take care of oneself."

Let's compare behaviors to these symptoms one by one, and I'll let you be the judge.

Intellectual functioning:

Learning. The average argument with a social justice warrior often goes as follows: when the opposing side presents hard evidence that contradicts with their ideology, the social justice warrior is unable to process the information, much like a robot presented with a paradox in science fiction. Instead, they typically resort to re-assertion, shaming, silencing tactics, as well as many other logical fallacies.

Reasoning. When presented with an idea, person, or occurrence which conflicts with their social expectations, rather than consider other factors, the social justice warrior will often jump to the birth trait-related prejudice conclusion. People often prematurely make conclusions. However, instead of acknowledging other possibilities, the social justice warrior will likely use the aforementioned fallacies and tactics, and/or use emotions in place of logic in order to further delude themselves in terms of reality.

Make decisions. Obtaining a gender studies degree, and expecting a career. Need I say more?

Solve problems. Social justice warriors often show an extraordinary inability to exhibit problem solving skills. For example, sales experts have come out before to explain hilarious ease of selling meaningless products with a caption such as "End Capitalism" to the social justice warrior, who is often a supporter of communism, and said consumer completely fails to see the irony. Rather than exploit and spread accurate criticisms of certain extents of capitalism, the social justice warrior will pose in a selfie with said novelty product, and engage in online, social media-related pseudo-activism, only to fuel their own narcissistic supply.

Adaptive behaviors:

Communicating effectively. Rather than engage in civil discussion with others, the social justice warrior shows a tendency of immediate rage over the slightest forms of perceived violations of what is socially acceptable. Said rage includes, but is not limited to yelling, child-like insulting, and even assault.

Interact with others. The aforementioned example could also apply to this as well. However, I'll use a different example in terms of the social justice warrior being inept with interacting with others. Many social justice warriors attending universities which comply to their ludicrous notions, when confronted with ideas, people, or occurrences which conflict their idealistic version of reality, choose to retreat to "safe spaces" in order for the comfort of an ideological echo chamber, thus furthering the stunting of any possible mental growth. This is, of course, if they choose not to resort to instant acts of aggression.

Take care of oneself. http://thisisthinprivilege.org/

Sadly, the social justice warrior is a group of people who fit every symptom listed for an intellectual disability. So I urge you to do the right thing.
