Working families. This is more to do with the British general elections having recently taken place, but whenever politicians use this phrase (or similar phrases, like ?hard-working citizen?), it just sounds really fake and the only people I can think that seriously use that phrase to describe themselves are those self-righteous pricks who simplistically blame the unemployed and immigrants for all their problems.
Freedom of speech. Funnily enough, it doesn?t exempt you from the freedom of consequence, nor is it a ?get out of jail free? card to insult marginalised groups of people and then end up getting a bunch of unrelated people attacked because you couldn?t shut your opinionated mouth.
Strawman. Partly because I don?t really know what it means; partly because the only times I hear it being used on a regular basis is on the internet.
Feminist. Like the above, I don?t really know what it means anymore, and the only feminists that seem to get the spotlight anymore are the radical feminists who spout unsourced bile at not only men but other women who don?t conform to their narrow-minded ideal of what it means to be a ?true woman?. If I was to try and identify myself as a feminist, I wouldn?t feel comfortable doing so, because ? like the phrase ?working families? ? it just sounds so self-righteous, as if it?s like the person?s saying, ?I am a feminist, and if you?re not, that means you?re part of the problem?.
Social justice. Again, like the above, it?s become so politicised as to fall into meaninglessness. Let?s face it: when people hear the words ?social justice?, they think of naïve Tumblr users demanding that everyone refer to them by their specific, doesn?t-even-exist-in-the-fucking-dictionary personal pronouns and claim to be progressive when, in reality, a lot of them are painfully small-minded and seem entirely ill-equipped to deal with the world outside of their laptop.
[/b]?Nice guy?.[/b] Because what if you genuinely are just a nice guy who happens to fancy a girl he?s friends with (or at least acquainted with) and feels a bit disappointed when she rejects him? It doesn?t make them a misogynist. It just makes them human. Where I come from, if there?s a guy that only acts nice to women because they expect something in return (sexual or otherwise), we don?t call them ?nice guys?. No. We call them ?assholes?.
Rape culture. Refer to ?feminist? and ?social justice?.
