Social Justice’s Punching Bags: Men, White People, Straight People
Post Body

https://becauseits2015.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/social-justices-punching-bags-men-white-people-straight-people/.

This is a post I wrote up on something that's common in the social justice movement: different standards in treatment for different demographic groups (things like negative generalizations, employment discrimination, insults related to identity, and dismissing an opinion based on the person's identity are considered much more acceptable for some groups than others).

Some things I'm interested in your opinions on: whether there are other types of treatment that the double standard is commonly applied to that I missed in the examples section on there, whether you think any of the examples I mentioned don't actually have the double standard commonly applied to them, the merits of the justifications for the double standard that I looked at (and did I miss any?), the problems with the double standard that I raised (and did I miss any?), and finally the idea that this double standard is a common reason for disillusionment and backlash against the social justice movement.

And any other suggestions or mistakes noticed.
