See, this term confuses me. I think the mistake a lot on the left make when saying things like abolishing slavery was "progressive" or "radical" or whatever is that it more or less equates "the left" of any issue in any given time period as the correct one, even if society isn't ready for it yet. Sorry, but that's ridiculous. For example, I would have ABSOLUTELY supported the infrastructure spending that was pushed by GOP Presidents such as Lincoln, Teddy and Eisenhower ... but that doesn't mean those were "liberal" things to do just because liberals support doing EVEN MORE than that today; that's absurd logic. I think liberals' suggestions of increased public funding for things today have passed what is needed and sensible, so I no longer support "infrastructure" spending. I really detest the revisionist application of the word "liberal."
So, I don't think "SJWs" existed in past times, honestly. At least not in the BRTD fashion. I understand SJWs to be people who are uncomfortable and restless unless they have a cause to complain about, therefore they will always find a new one, even when their just ones have already been accomplished and all that's left is pointless bull s _ it. So, I hope never.
