Staples High School Children: Feminism board should not be heavily censored

[Quote] "Criticizing feminism raises legitimate issues that are worthy of debate. And yet, as I revisited the board again and again, I saw the same thing: people removing post-it notes that stated a negative opinion of feminism, sneering with smug faces, and calling the writers of critical perspectives stupid. Even teachers took down notes that called feminism obsolete and misguided. By Wednesday, not a single post-it note expressing something negative about feminism remained.

This is somewhat tragic, and, frankly, terrifying. When people feel the need to completely remove an opinion because they disagree with it, it sets a precedent for intolerance, censorship, and misunderstanding in the future. It seemed to be the consensus that disliking feminism, or not referring to oneself as a feminist, was being sexist. [End quote] .

Heartening to see this challenge to free-speech censors by the students themselves.

This is one of the best things that feminists could do, from my point of view.

Think about a guy at that school who was already slightly skeptical about feminism. A guy who, say, put up a very moderate post, merely pointing out that the wage gap is a myth, or commenting that women already have all the rights that men do and some extra ones as well. That guy saw his post torn down, he saw feminist teachers and students ridicule him for his comment without addressing the facts at all.

Well, that guy just swallowed a red pill and realised an important truth about feminism. That guy just got a bunch of reasons to oppose feminism and feminists. He just realised feminists hate him just for being male, they want to silence him and turn him into a second class citizen. He just realised feminism is something evil that he's going to have to stand up to if he wants to keep his freedom.

Feminism just made a lifelong enemy. He'll probably bring a few of his friends with him, too.

And there will certainly be a few girls who aren't buying the bullshit too. Either they have men & boys they care about too much to get on board with all the misandry, or they're intelligent & rational enough to see that feminist dogma runs counter to reality. They're not getting on board with feminism, either.

Well done, feminists. A fantastic own goal.
