It's only a matter of time before they start banning people since we all know there's no such thing as free speech on reddit anymore.

I'm confused; don't feminists also not believe in free speech? Don't feminists of all stripes pretty much ban anyone who disagrees with them?

I'm certain that Mackinnon and Dworkin wrote that censorship was required to protect women's speech, and an informed authority was required to intervene and correct for a social power imbalance. Which only leaves the question of who gets to select the authentic representatives of the marginalized and decide what must be censored in their interests?

Can you point me to the passages or texts where they said this? I would like to learn more.
