The purpose of language is to communicate. I fail to see why you object to that.
Because "Social Justice Warrior" is no different from "Liberal" or "Conservative". It's a label with no concrete meaning. If I were to say that it would be nice to see more strong women characters in science fiction, or maybe a gay couple in a story with other couples in it, would you say that I'm a SJW?

What if I were to tell you that a lot of the books I read come from Baen, and Orson Scott Card and Heinlein are two of my favorite authors? Would I still be considered a SJW?
