I'm a proud SJW. I actually find it really amusing that such a positive, admirable label is used as an insult. I have people in my life that I love who are women, gays, people with mental illness, etc. I'm proud to be a "warrior" for them. I'm not exactly sure what you're afraid of "SJWs" doing to your life, but I promise that we'd fight for you, too, if you needed it.



The problem is that people think that because I do not get offended by "mom" in the title, I can't also have men, women, gays and the disabled in my life whom I love.


That's a straw man. No one has said you should be offended. They're just saying that there are really good reasons that "mom" in the title is problematic.
