Free speech goes both ways; it is not freedom to consequence-free speech. Want to express the opinion that women (and presumably men) who are highlighting and combating sexism are just demanding special treatment and wasting everyone's time? That's fine, but everyone else has the freedom of speech to criticize your speech and form an opinion of you based on what you've said. That's how this works. Hypocrisy is unbecoming. Self-censorship because other people will point out how wrong you are isn't censorship; it's doing your homework. If you don't want to be called ignorant and wrong, don't be ignorant and wrong. Imagine some journalist coming in and saying the problem with software development was that programmers didn't document enough. It isn't censorship for their opinion to be laughed out of the room.
