In general, I think that when someone uses a label to identify a group, people read into it based on whether the label was created by the group that self-identifies with it, or a group that is opposed to it. I think it's very easy to be written off as a mindless hater, if you use a label that was created by the group opposed to something and you are critical of the group. Obviously, with SJW, you have a problem because there's not really a self-identified group with its own term for itself.

Impresseive exercise in mental gymnastics. It seems that you are flaying about seeking some rationale to justify your conclusion. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but this attempt hasn't got you there. Not even close. In the end you have seized upon a totally irrelevant distinction, being whether the group itself invented the label!
Sorry. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
