The problem with social justice is that it hurts those groups in power. Social justice for women for example hurt all men, because prior to womens liberization men had a total control over society, it's economy, it's political and social direction, the raising of their children and the behavior of their wives and female employees in their environment. Nobody likes to lose power and by propagating equality you're qually hurting the group which benefits from that inequality. And that group isn't always a small minority, it can in fact be a pluarity like it was in the case of white males. Personally as someone of a minority racial group I'm for most forms of equality, however I can understand the resentment of those that once used to be in power and are now losing it. Equality may have helped me (in the U.S) but I'm not blind to the fact that it hurt others that previously had dominion.

Bullshit. It doesn't hurt all men, in fact we can gain a lit more views and perceptions otherwise put to the back through equality. It only hurts those treating women unfairly in the first place.

Views and perceptions arent tangible. Economic and sexual supremacy is. You're trading material, primal benefits that all animals are born with which keep the lights on and feed desires for intangibles that dont. It hurts virtually all men - however living in the current generation you wouldn't know it since you never got to experience what it was like to have social and political supremacy in the first place. There are no tangible benefits of equality for men, because by virtue of having been the dominant group in virtually all avenues of western (and non western) culture you can only attain equality by erasing that dominance.
