Justice, as the things of love, are always specific, and related to one essence. If you want justice for a whole group as such you are doing in fact injustice against some individual out of this group. Because as a group you will not have limits to define how damaged is the victim. That is worse if we speak about a ideology, that means, something that goes in time and space autonomously beyond the group.
As human beings we can perceive and isolate a element from one or more different and even paradoxically opposed sets in order to integrate the essence of this element in ours. If you educate someone with classical art , for example, this person will get always more sensible to what is the essence of something, but at the same time to how its essence is related to general values. Condition for doing justice is only a matter of relating feelings to a especifical reality in order to transform feelings of fear in feelings of love.
As an animal we would remain only in a vague collective and automatic way of behaviour, but as human beings we go beyond that: we relate our conscience to isolated elements, as much as to groups of elements at the same time.
What should then that mean, to identify a group with a sexual gender? And what should that mean, to identify a group with a sexual felling? If you cannot define all the victims of a group so you victimise every person of this group. And if you victimise just the ideas of this group, how can you confuse that with victimising the arguers of such ideas?
For doing justice its enough concepts of justice, you don't need the concepts of the victim-group; in the same sense you don't need to base it on the "agressor-group" as well. But the point is: a small group of human beings cannot damm the whole human species and its tradition as an aggressor! Because in this way you would accuse a whole group (much more complex) again, what can be harmful for one possible individual of this group:
so again you are coming from general ideas that can neglect the perception of a specific situation for this individual, because those ideas of the victim-group are based on feelings of fear. The ideas of the accused group, however, was based in feelings of love.
Basically we are comparing wrong actions taken from feelings of fear versus actions taken from fears of love. Bad actions are always bad, but a bad action based on wrong intention is a positive evil, while a bad action based on good intention is a negative evil.
The first is injustice in progress; the second is a reparable injustice.
