I think it depends on the... good-will (?) of the crowd. Like if both sides are willing to engage in reasoned debates, I don't see anything wrong with dissent.

I think it depends on the... good-will (?) of the crowd. Like if both sides are willing to engage in reasoned debates, I don't see anything wrong with dissent. But if one side is trolling or won't engage in good faith, then I would say that those types of people shouldn't be able to stick around. That's poisonous. And their continued existence lends credence to unfounded ideas. I don't think this issue of sexism is so cut-and-dry. A lot of it is informed and shaped by people's personal experiences and we'll never have view of everyone's experiences with 100% clarity. There will always be this natural tension when mixing "well, I'm skeptical of your claim" with "well, you should trust what I'm saying" from a disenfranchised party.
