"Higher standard" might not have been the best word choice. I meant that whenever someone in the social justice community does something shitty, people who are unhappy about the idea of social justice jump at the chance to say, "Look! Everyone who supports social justice is a hypocrite and bad person, so the rest of us should keep fighting to make sure 'isms never become a thing of the past!"

On the one hand that's ridiculous, and it's a tried, true, oft-used method of attempting to silence anyone who doesn't think the status is all that quo. But at the same time, I find it way more upsetting when someone who campaigns or presents themselves as an advocate for social justice engages in this kind of behavior than when a random person on the street does, and I think that's perfectly fair.

Those two things aren't really linked, except that a lot of times SJ people jump to accuse anyone justifiably disturbed by the behavior of someone else in the community of doing the former. That's what I was trying to get at, though I may just have made myself even less clear...
