I think most of us are referring to individuals similar to the college student in your example, who wish to silence dissent and censure speech in the interest of protecting feelings. Limiting free speech is not a classically liberal ideal, which is why I only refer to SJWs as members of the left, not 'left-liberal' or 'liberal.'

A lot of posters (just about all of them) talk about social justice as such a broad category that it essentially just means left-liberal. I'd be curious to see you guys try to break it down into more specific categories and tell us what you think of each of them.
Let's take gay marriage for instance, say someone is a gay marriage advocate and also get's annoyed when people say faggot. Surely he's in a different category than a college student demanding a trigger warning about war in a world history class. Which would be still different than a civil rights advocate suing a school district to desegregate.
