I don't think it's fair to say that nothing has changed. In previous generations, students absolutely would have protested. But administrations wouldn't have been so quick to give in to social outrage and to ban speakers. One of the unfortunate effects of social media is that allowing controversy of any sort has become much more dangerous. What might once have garnered a few feminist protestors outside a church (or evangelicals protesting outside a school) now elicits thousands of angry reactionaries on Twitter and Tumblr.
