From Wokepaedia: "Newitz is the child of two English teachers... completed a Ph.D. in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley... Newitz has been in a relationship with Charlie Jane Anders(on the left)."

So it's a lesbian scared that free speech will finally allow men to talk about women in a way that they have long deserved.

What I find deliciously perverse is that this is a militant feminist lesbian in a relationship with a MTF transsexual.

It's like a clown world woke version of a hetero couple with extra steps.

In the end, a bio woman is getting a dicking from a bio male.

John Clark was a literal science fiction writer, but also a literal rocket scientist. Newitz, on the other hand, failed primary school biology.

I would ask what this has to do with science but considering the fact Nat Geo lectures about racism and pregnant men I’m not surprised

Michael Crichton did better science than this.

From her wikipedia page:

In 1996, Newitz started doing freelance writing, and in 1998 completed a Ph.D. in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley, with a dissertation on images of monsters, psychopaths, and capitalism in twentieth century American popular culture.

Just wow...

If these useless people were harmless it would be less objectionable.

They manage to infect many thousands of gullible adolescents of every age with their America-hating propaganda.

fallacy

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

There's nothing illogical about saying free-speech should mean "we should be able to say whatever we want to whomever we want". I really wish someone could teach them the difference between words and meaning/action- you prosecute based on the intent or result of words, not the act of speech itself.

100%. Beware of the seemingly complimentary phrase "free speech absolutist" since it assumes speech has limits. For a functioning society and for freedom of thought it does not, short of a direct exhortation to violence, not implied, but explicit, something like "Go get your daddy's shotgun and kill the nearest [insert political enemy here]." Even that assumes the audience is so incapable of reflection that they follow the first order that strikes them as good or useful, like a Malaysian latah.

Any restriction on speech is anti-liberty and deeply irrational. In fact speech codes are deliberately designed to prohibit certain kinds of thought and propagate others. I'm sure you all know which sorts of thoughts are on the intelligentsia's shit list. That's why so many college-trained assholes and pseudo intellectuals love the idea along with totalitarian politicians.
