are "social justice warriors" necessary?

Roosh V explains this in a good article here:

http://www.rooshv.com/what-is-a-social-justice-war...

"The true definition of SJW is up for debate, but most generally it has become a catch-all term that describes feminists and liberals who actively try to solve the perceived social injustices of modern society by organizing in online communities to disseminate propaganda, censor speech, and punish individuals by getting them terminated from their employment. "

Provided said description has some merit, those "social justice warriors" sound a bit hysterical to me, not?

    Of course they are! However, this should be carried out in a practical way, and not by ranting on social media.

    I've been a legal adviser for asylum seekers for over 20 years and I've been a 'liberal' (which is apparently a modern term of disaproval and somehow equated with communism) and a feminist (without joining any organisation) most of my adult life.

    I'm not in the least hysterical (now that's a word which is almost always applied to women). I'm cool, calm and collected and stick to the facts and I will fight against all forms of social injustice.

    Social Justice? Is it just that I got up at 5:30 every morning, dressed my child and went out into the cold and rain and heat and darkness to take that child to day care (that took one fourth of my paycheck) so I could wait on women spending their family services checks. They stayed home with their 'children' because it would 'cost more in day care than they would make working'?? I believe in work-fare, not well fare. If you don't have a job, you still need to go to an appointed place, five days a week and be it some form of work or education, stay there for 8 hours. The children need to go to a separate day care, get early childhood education and good nutrition. That is good for a persons mental outlook and good for the children to be in a learning environment. If the people don't want to go to the appointed place for 8 hours a day, they must not want their checks either. When the people realize they could make more working a job than working at the appointed place, they will go find one. And that is Social Justice for real.

    I tend to dislike anyone who's always spouting activism. That includes "social justice" activism, environmental activism, Tea Party activism, Christian activism - anyone who's just obsessed with activism in general.

    Life's too short for that crap, and you just end up hating a ton of people who didn't do anything wrong.

    Have a beer and go hang out with some friends, for God's sake.

    besides bi*tching and moaning I don't think they change anything.

    they have an unrealistic view that the world and all that is in it should change and conform to them their views and opinions.

    making their voices heard wherever their delicate sensibilities could be offended.

    some people give them the time of day most don't give a sh*it.

    While social injustice still exists, people will have to fight for social justice.

    I didn't get through the first two paragraphs before realising that this is just more whining from men who don't want anything to change.
