Do you think SJWs are a legitimate problem?
Please note that the question isn't whether SJWs are a bigger problem than <insert comparative group>, whether they've ever raised good points, or what the motives of the people who complain about them are. Do you think that the "Tumblr feminist" stereotype is one that exists in non-trivial numbers/power?

Not for the most part, some can get a bit to extreme, but these social justice warrior types helped bring along the end of Jim Crow and fed movements like women's suffrage, marriage equality, civil rights, oh my.
The term was flipped by certain types to make it a negative and make all social justice ugly and distasteful. Along with terms like *gasp* "identity politics", when everyone adheres to identity politics in some fashion; even if minor, that's just human nature. eg if some of your politics are shaped by religion, you're guilty of adhering to identity politics.

So take, for example:
- Yale Halloween protestors' confrontation with professor
- Evergreen protestors' confrontation with professor
- Google memo
In these three cases, would you say that the "SJW"'s reaction was:
- justified/overblown,
- an outlier
or both?

-Significantly overblown 10/10
-Significantly overblown (the professor in question has marched for equal rights in the past.)10/10
-Meh, it was overblown but I'll give this a 5.5/10
