"Freedom of speech" is a principle. It is distinct from, and broader than, the first amendment in the USA or s.2(b) of the Charter up here.
Suggesting that being a male feminist is the only position that's "tolerable" in society is nakedly authoritarian, particularly when no one can define what "feminist" means anymore, and if they attempt to it's usually a motte and bailey position.
Illuminaughty is pretty obviously a nut, and for that reason, is far less eyebrow-raising to me than some of the positions articulated in here by otherwise ostensibly sane people.
