Maybe this is more about outrage culture (being upset over relatively small things like microagressions rather than "real problems", often argued to be a fallacy of relative privation, unless the small things are not a problem at all or the argument is that the response is disproportional to the magnitude of the problem) than about whether an SJW is of a feminist or some other persuasion. Some disagree that SJWs are necessarily feminist or vice versa. A lot of these terms aren't exactly clearly defined.

The argument could have been a lot clearer and less confrontational. At least it seems more consistent than anti-feminists being "reactionary" for the old times where we could make jokes about women but being offended by jokes about men.
