An interesting piece on Quillette, which starts with this:
“Victoria’s proposed hate speech legislation forces feminists to choose which is more important to them: the restriction of misogynistic speech, or the protection of their own political speech.”
I very much doubt feminists will be ‘forced to choose’. They have the power both to restrict “misogynistic speech” – in practice, criticism of women in general an/or feminists in particular – and to protect their own speech, misandrous though it invariably is.
I’m a subscriber to Quillette (USD10.00 pcm), but sadly there doesn’t seem to be any way even for subscribers to leave comments on the piece.

Feminism thy name is HYPOCRISY!

Goodness. Maybe just maybe the answer is simply have a first amendment right to free speech? And as far as possible keep government out of people’s lives. It just makes me laugh when feminists, the very acme of a group who “silence” any disagreement with their mantras, suddenly find themselves facing opposition from their former “allies” in the “LGBQ…. etc.”
