Free speech is protected in that a person can share their thoughts. But my point is that the consequences of free speech in the case of sexism should not be free of punishment, i.e. no such thing as "free speech" when it comes to sexism, racism, etc except in the limited sense that the speech is allowed to happen. My point is that there should be consequences to sexist speech, which is why I said it's not free speech. I think the confusion is the definition of "free speech" I can say something racist or sexist or hateful but it does not mean that I will not be punished for it.
- AstralStorm 9y agoThis not plain old sexist speech. This is a cogent argument that is supposed to be disproven and not shouted down as sexist. (Like some racist arguments were disproved reasonably well in the past.)
