This is a complicated question with no right answer. Both sides of it have been in the wrong historically. I personally believe that the people who have been there longer should have the right to determine what is happening, but there are many reasons for why this view may be wrong, such as the lack of alternative spaces, the necessity of work to survive, the principles of equality, and so on.
However, let us be clear about one thing:
If parent does not harass women and does not send death threats, which seems likely, then regardless of which opinion you hold they are not the problem.
Let's not ever kick people out for civilly holding an opinion, even if we find the opinion repugnant. Civility is important. Civility was violated for the woman behind this post, but not afaik by this commenter.
The real problem are not the people who hold controversial opinions. The real problem are the harassers. Let's team up on them without bystanders having to be scared they'll be next.
