I'm quite happy to examine how male bonding culture, or same sex schooling, contributes to these depraved acts upon women. I'm also willing to look at any incident subjectively to determine how and why it happened.
What I'm not willing to do is start using McLanguage to generalize these things. I'm not willing to engage with terms that have no definition, or can be expanded or contracted to mean anything the speaker desires or needs them to mean. I'm not willing to discuss anything with anyone using a term like "SJW" to demean things like Occupy or BLM, or any platitude-thrower looking to score moral high ground by assailing "rape culture."
There are no "SJWs." Nor is there "rape culture." There are some people who take complaints about social inequality a bit too far, or are even absurd. And there are some men who are borderline, or fully, misogynistic. But not every grievance makes one an SJW, and not every frat bro is a part of rape culture. These are dumb words, and they're signalling words. They bring nothing to a conversation. They're shorthand for lazy thinkers and people more concerned with how others perceive them in a discussion than actually learning something from a discussion.
It's a free country. Use any term you like. But understand, using these new signalling terms betrays a lot. Little if any of it flattering.
