I think this say more about who is and is not part of the dominant cultural forces right now.
My guess is that people more likely to be censored or punished for speaking their views are more pro-free speech, while those who's views happen to align better with the cultural zeitgeist are fine with censorship because it affects them less.
- NylaTheWolf 5y agoI feel like it's dismissive and reductive to simply call it a "cultural zeitgeist." Like jrajav said in their comment[1], a large part of it likely has to do with women experiencing more discrimination and prejudice first-hand, and thus they feel more strongly about harmful discrimination and have that added perspective about their first-hand experiences with misogyny.
