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.

Nakedly authoritarian? I totally disagree. If anyone disagrees with that statement, they are more than welcome to explain why other positions are as valid or indeed even more valid than "being a male feminist" (whatever that might mean). Making statements like "being a male feminist is the only position that's tolerable" is not an attack on free speech, its an invitation/opportunity to exercise it.
