unspeakablehorror | Social Justice

While I agree wholeheartedly with the purpose of social justice, I question a lot of the 'community norms' that have grown up around it which I think are often harmful to actually accomplishing the goals in question. One reason I'm often reluctant to speak publicly about a lot of issues, in fact, is because I don't want to perpetuate a lot of those norms, but I think it's a bit much for someone who has such a limited experience with social situations as I do to come up with good replacements in that regard. And yet that's exactly what I need to do, I feel, in a lot of cases. Also, a lot of times, my full response to something would be something along the lines of 'you have a point, but...' and I often don't think that the things after the comma are likely to be well-received. Both because pushback tends to be less well-received in general and because I don't really know...how to present them.
