Yes, this is an excellent example of what I'm talking about. Your opinions about state violence and racism don't threaten male domination of women, their ability to extract emotional or sexual or domestic labor from us, so they will allow you to take either side of that debate. That's not pulling against the leash. Opinions about the relationship between men and women, on the other hand, if women are allowed to talk freely about them, may threaten male domination. So every aspect of that conversation is going to have arguments that men like and will allow and will pat their pet fun feminists on the head for, and arguments that men will do their best to suppress.

If there was a sub on Reddit that stated women shouldn't be allowed to vote or women should only be homemakers, it would be banned too.
