Not so SJW stamp

Description

I am NOT supporting the individuals which are commonly known as SJW, with that. If I understand what is behind the term correctly, those are some truly despicable and / or messed up ones.

However, lately I've been called that, several times, by people who neither know who I am, what I am like, what I believe, why I believe it and how and why I fight for it. Fine, label me whatever you like and stigmatize me for anything you wish. However, I was left with the powerful impression that certain people will immediately shoot the SJW accusation at any random person who dares to stand up for their sincere beliefs which said certain people do not approve of or which do not conform to said certain people's own views of things. In other words, they care about neither motivation, nor argumentation or rightness, they just use the SJW accusation as the easiest way to discard me without even giving me a chance to defend my position. In other words, an excuse to remain narrow-minded and ignorant, and deny those like me the right to defend our position.
But let me remind you that the original form of warriorship for social justice is what brought about changes in the direction of sexual equity and rights for many minorities, who were living a much more miserable lifes before. It is those who abuse the fight for these rights for egoistic reasons that have given the abbreviation SJW such a negative hue. You may believe that I fight to gain popularity or whatever, but so far it's only gaining me the disdain and mockery of the ignorant, and a lot of bitterness and pain at the expense of very little personal satisfaction - but I won't quit just because of that. Or else, you may believe I am a maniac who goes warring for no good reason just because. But the truth is, when I feel that something is so utterly wrong, I cannot pass it by and forget about it, it is not in my nature to stay quiet and do nothing and just reconcile with how shitty society is in so many ways. Mmmm yeah, call that a mania all you want.
