The push against extremists shouldn't be fought with extremists in my opinion (Like the Trump crowd).
I'm...not sure you're going by the correct definition of SJW either.
Because it's definitely not when you're telling someone to not actually be a dick (Dick being someone who's actually starting trouble, not harmless jokes/off the cuff/one off comments).

Translation from the OP. I don't like your views thus you are a SJW. SJW's are bad.
SJW can spew whatever crap they want.
It doesn't mean we have to listen to them and degrade our way of life with their insane ideas and double standards.
Can you imagine something like Donglegate being a thing 10 years ago? I don't think so. A woman so sensitive to a "dongle joke" would have been laughed at by everyone, other women included.
Honestly, I'm tired of the term SJW being tossed around as soon as somebody states an opinion. As soon as somebody says anything remotely progressive, opposes the state, or dares point out somebody doing something shitty. They get labelled as a SJW and vilified.
If it's bullshit, call it out. If somebody is being a hypocrite, call em out. If you just plain disagree with their viewpoint, call it out. But for the love of all that's sweet and tasty, stop tossing out this term as though it were a catch all for every single person whose viewpoint you don't like.
You need strategy to win that war.
Don't drop your spaghetti: giving them ammo is a sure way to loose
Don't use their strategy and feel offended over words: you may become them when doing so
When showing superior academic standing, don't simply claim they're ignorant.
Claim victory whenever possible. It proves you're unconcerned with the kerfuffle and that your way is superior. Like this:
The kulturkampt is an spectator sport. You can take sides, of course. But directly engaging is an acknowledgement that they matter: it gives them credit.

You can't fight crazy. Just move on and laugh.
Trump's success as a troll candidate has been sort of startling. We can blame republican leadership for falling apart and offering nothing better, we can say that SJW rhetoric is being responded to in force, but I think he's a product of the trollish behavior fostered on the internet and various social media platforms. Rather than electing a messenger, people are electing a message, and that is really messed up.
It will take around 5-10 more years until the general public understands what "SJWs" are. Then they'll end up like animal rights fanatics, where pretty much everyone knows that at the core there might have been good intentions but in the end they're just retards who like to stir up shit to feel good about themselves.
Edit: and in the same way they'll hold these "core values" back the same way. Good job btw.
Every six years... there not a new thing. I am old enough to remember the last moral panic in the 90's it will die down and things will go back to normal soon enough.
SJW (social justice warriors) are not troll. They are left-wing fanatics.
