/lit/ - Literature

Sorry in advance if this long, poorly worded, confusing, and/or too broad. I do that a lot. Just skim it and ask me questions. For some reason, I'm not good at-... look just skim this post, but make sure you read the all-caps part... don't ask me why I can't correct it, just do it...

Hi /lit/. Fair warning: I can't guarantee this thread won't be a shitstorm, but this board seems like the closest I can get to asking anonymous questions of a librarian. I'd ask /his/, but the issue seems broader than just history. I'd ask /pol/ or /b/, but >asking /pol/ or /b/

So, while I generally prefer that /lit/ stay on the topic of the art of story telling etc., I guess I have to make an exception.

AS A NORMAL, MODERATE, URBAN, SECULAR AGNOSTIC, OMNIVOROUS, ENGINEERING MAJOR, SOUTH-PARK-AND-HEALTHCARE STYLE LIBERAL WHO WILL NOT BE CONVINCED OTHERWISE, If I wanted to learn about "intersexual feminist", dumb communist shit, and all the other stuff people meme about when speaking of BLM and community college - like, really learn about what it boils down to and really dissect it so I can say "I understand this" and not deal with a certain internal nagging feeling I have inside that I couldn't ever win an argument against an SJW and might even fall prey to stupid bullshit if I'm ever in the right set of mental circumstances and don't do something about this.

Don't say Sargon. Don't say any political pundits if you have any doubt that I might disagree with them or their portrayal of the subject or have any other doubts about. I want to develop my own independent (if you will) understanding, but also don't want to deal with shit that reads... well, like anything or almost anything an actual SJW or SJW profiteer writes, like fucking White Fragility. Holy shit. Some crazy person gave me a copy of that once, and my fucking God there is so much wrong with it. Right off the bat, the book basically tells you that logic is bad and she immediately stereotypes everyone who disagrees with her. I learned nothing.

So what, I want to know is what can I read if I wanted to listen to them spew such stupid words at me and have some chance to authoritatively say "no; you're wrong" without actually reading the entirety of this toss? Like, if I wanted to understand the history of social justice shit, how it develops, and perhaps what variations of SJW-ism might be out there, what would I read?

I hate that this is probably a boring, depressing, waste of my time and emotional resources that could end up turning me into a cancerous single-issue obsessor, but I feel somehow like I need to know this, so that at the very least, I can just internally know the info is out there and that I won't find myself heading to some far-end of the spectrum from ignorance alone.

...Also I know little of philosophy or soft sciences, so keep that in mind. I realize this might become a whole project, but still...

not as bad as I thought it would be

>be in barnes & noble
>blm shit all over the place
>white fragility
>white supremacy and me
>various baby books that should be considered /pol/ memes
Who's buying this shit?

I know nothing about this book but it might help

If you replace every instance of the word white in this book with male and racism with sexism or patriarchy you will get a feminist bestseller
