>Read their tweets, many of them are openly and proudly racist, sexist and ageist. Are they really? Or do they just dare to hold views that have nothin to do with sexism, agism or racism but instead just violate the "proper" political orthodoxy?

  do they just dare to hold views that have nothin to do with sexism, agism or racism but instead just violate the "proper" political orthodoxy? Well let’s see, what do you think about using “old”, “white” and “male” as pejoratives? No one ever seems to have violated a CoC for it.

    “Joking” about killing all men to make men feel uncomfortable is still clearly harassment. Especially when they don’t permit the “joking” excuses to anyone else.

      Here's my personal litmus test: If you replace one gender with the other or one race with any other race (etc, etc) and the new sentence is offensive, then so is the previous one. Is kill all women offensive? Then you obviously shouldn't say kill all men.

      Oh, I absolutely agree - my original comment was perhaps ambiguous. This was the hypocrisy of someone who actively advocated for CoCs to be introduced even as she was actively harassing people who didn't fit her world-view.
