Law
Once Law was sitting on the bench,
And Mercy knelt a-weeping.
"Clear out!" he cried, "disordered wench!
Nor come before me creeping.
Upon your knees if you appear,
'Tis plain your have no standing here."
Then Justice came. His Honor cried:
"Your status? -- devil seize you!"
"Amica curiae," she replied --
"Friend of the court, so please you."
"Begone!" he shouted -- "there's the door --
I never saw your face before!"
--Ambrose Bierce

Privelige
When someone says "white privilege", what they mean is “I am about to attempt to bully you into submission using kafkatraps and your own sense of decency as a club”.

Even-handedness

I am more muscular, faster, more cunning and larger than you are. And I'm a genius.

How SJWs read
SJW Scanning,
This is a form of near literacy employed by SJWs in order to disqualify written works, and signal adherence to the accepted group think. First one reads the Wikipedia entry about the author and searches Huffpo, Reddit, Feministing (or other, similar gathering places) and searches the twitter feeds of one's handlers to determine if one is allowed to enjoy the work. If not, one then reads the first and last couple of pages so as to get the tone and the narrative arc. Then one skims until offended, looking eagerly for any hint of a mention of sex or race.Whether or not any is found, the work and the author are denounced as double plus ungood, racist, anti-woman, pro-rape, pro-kitten-sadness, etc. Any literary effect the reader does not understand, such as the use of nicknames to evoke the emotional state of a character, are treated as both pro-rape and evidence of the author's stupidity.

Shock Troops
Embrace the extremists. Defend them. Refuse to permit them to be cut off and isolated. Allow them to play their role as the intellectual shock troops they are. That is how you win. Because if they're not taking the incoming fire, you are. And the shock troops are much better equipped psychologically to take it and survive than the average self-styled moderate.

Fairness
Fairness is like some exotic sub-sub-subatomic particle:
It has never been observed in the real world.
It exists only in theory.
There's not even any evidence that it is a useful model.
But the theories all work out so nicely if it does exist, that a great many people think it must be real.

self-interest
If you are a normal young woman — desiring a life that includes men, marriage and motherhood — you need to recognize how modern feminism is directly hostile to your own self-interest.

Emergence
Though some may think they have buried it, the truth has a pesky way of emerging - no matter how well guarded the tomb
