Following the decision to prohibit Julie Bindel from speaking at an event hosted by the University of Manchester Free Speech and Secular Society, the Students’ Union Executive Team have now moved to ban men’s rights activist Milo Yiannopoulos, who was originally scheduled to debate alongside her.
Bindel and Yiannopoulos were both booked to speak at a debate entitled “From liberation to censorship: Does modern feminism have a problem with free speech?” to take place on the 15th of October.

It’s hard to believe the extent to which the universities across the western world have turned into a bunch of intellectual wimps.
It took mankind one hundred thousand years to develop speech to the point of, for example, Churchill’s speeches – and it’s taken feminism fifty years to decide to ban it even amongst their own, because they find it threatening. My goodness me – what will they do when the first feminist actually does a STEMM degree and learns about the terrors of being able to make fire?
