SJW Newspeak. I think it means something like making someone feel like they don't belong, that they're a lesser person.

Seriously. The group's name is FemSoc. You couldn't get closer to 1984 if you tried.

> more like sociology 101
That's what the SJW indoctrination classes are called.

It's a term that sounded clever three years ago, but now evokes anger in me through overuse. At this point I'd like to have a cultural appropriation themed party and we can other each other, though with fine cocktails in hand

When I was a lad, sociology courses were about group behaviour in various settings, applicable to city design, business efficiency, and the like, and there was also study of demography and the collection and analysis of societal indicators important for informed governing.

Not really. These are well established concepts in psychological research.

Maybe you're suspicious of the group putting these terms forward, and that's understandable, but I assure you that labelling and this concept of "othering" are real.

You have to admit that FemSoc sounds like something straight out of 1984.

The real Meta read the book 1984 by George Orwell and would have gotten that reference.

In the book the ruling party was called Ingsoc, which is Newspeak for "English Socialism". FemSoc for "feminist society" sounds like that.
