So a few people point to "SJWs" as causing problems for men showing affection to their daughters, but noone can provide any examples.

This is, to you, evidence that "SJWs" are winning.

To me it's another example of the lies and misinformation spread by misogyinists.



When did I make a claim that they were winning?

I feel like you are arguing with someone else in your replies to me. When did I ever make a claim that "the SJWs" were winning? Someone asked what the term meant, I took the time to dereference the pointer for them, and provided a bit of the origin of the term.

I also added a bit of snark about how the whole phenomena is a completely normal re-occurring part of American social discourse. The SJWs, prohibitionists, and witch hunts are all a part of the same line of moral panics that eschew logic and argument in favor of emotions and appeals to moral authority. They happen every 3-4 generations in the US, and probably come from the Utopian ideals of the Pilgrims that has evolved into the american progressive movement.
