Free speech has to be limited by the reactions that it is going to cause. I don't know where to draw the line, but I think that if the potential outcome is a holocaust, then speech has to be curbed. If feminist thought led to a holocaust in the past, then I would say we should limit that too. Fortunately no civil right movement I am aware of has those kind of motives.
I guess it's all subject to interpretation of what is and isn't dangerous.

In Canada the line is drawn when you call people to violence. pretty good line in my opinion.
