All aspects of the issue should be discussed, and everything should be “opened up,” and I don’t think anyone is suggesting the opposite.
The suggestion is that failing to give any focus to the core issue before you run off on a tangent about a side issue is off-putting because it gives the impression you aren’t acknowledging the core issue as important enough to spend any time on.
That’s part of why a movement like all lives matter or a shift to make this about all sexual harassment is suspect, it can say “your issue is not important enough to acknowledge, here’s a better one.” even if that’s not the intention.
