I think it is worth pointing out that the article selected for ‘review’ is not entirely typical of the site (most articles seem to discuss lived experience, activism activities and how to get by in unfriendly circumstances rather than philosophy or logic per se).
Additionally, the Facebook thread for the article has a lot of discussion, dominated (in my view) by self-described “SJW”s who had big problems with the anti-rationality stance of the article and made strong arguments in favour of logic and reason.
This article show that the bias of some SJWs against reason is impossible to strawman.
The emphasis is mine.
I think PhilGoetz does not strawman the author of the reviewed article, but by going on to say:
But it isn’t just a sign of how irrational the social justice movement is...
does strawman the social justice movement as a whole.
