William Shatner: Social justice warriors 'stand for inequality'

William Shatner attacks ‘social justice warriors’ on Twitter

‘Star Trek’ actor William Shatner sounds off on social media over modern day social justice warriors setting off a twitter war

William Shatner angered his left-leaning fans after he complained about social justice warriors on Twitter.

The "Star Trek" actor slammed today's SJWs for comparing themselves to the 1960s social reform movement, and his fans weren't pleased with his stance.

"Why is it that SJW's think they can align themselves with those that demanded social reform in the ['60s]?" Shatner tweeted Sunday.

He followed up, "And this is your failure of logic. SJWs stand for inequality, where they are superior to any one else hence my use of Misandry and Snowflake."

Shatner, 86, was quickly grilled on Twitter for his tweets.

So speaks an elderly white man secure and sheltered in his fame, wealth, and privilege. I expected better of you.

Gene Roddenberry was a social justice warrior. So was Captain Kirk. You let me down, Shat. You let me down.

How sad. Little girls like me in the 70s looked up to you as a hero willing to stand up for our rights of dignity, equality & worthiness.
