Everytime some woman talks about politics they always talk about "social justice" yet it occurred to me just now that I have no idea what the hell it refers to. Could someone tell me what is a specific policy of "social justice"?

You'll get a different definition depending on who you talk to. It is usually referring to equality of some sort...equal rights..equal opportunities, etc. Most of the time unfortunately it is used to fight for government programs that reward some at the expense of others...taxing one group to subsidize another, using quota systems to get a certain percentage of minorities employed in different businesses, etc. From what I've seen, people using the term "social justice" usually refer to it as an effort to achieve equality of outcome, rather than equality under the law. The two ideas are mutually exclusive.

Thanks for clearing that up. :D
