Why Americans Don't Feel Free to Speak Their Minds. 40 percent of Americans self-censor their speech, greatly exceeding levels observed during the McCarthy era. Alarmingly, the level of self-censorship is higher on college campuses and among the more educated.

Everyone should censor their speech depending on who they talk to. Unless your an antisocial retard that only talks to mom. Obviously its fine to swear for a friend, less so to colleagues, and don't swear to family. Easy.

This isn't about swear words, and it's dishonest to say that it is. This is about hard left Critical Theory creating an atmosphere of terror making people afraid to speak truth to power.

Only leftist anti-social autists like you need to make this argument. Most people have been properly socialized. I'm sorry your parents did such a poor job.

This is an ad hominem attack, against Saidit TOS. Make explicit arguments against the points presented or delete the comment.

Which makes it weird that there are so few people on this website.

this site does censor which is holding it back from gaining more of the people leaving reddit

It sure doesn't. There's only one feminist subsaidit that does, and it's hidden from /all so nobody knows it's there.

Yes, censorship on a free speech site. That's feminism for you.

more than that, and to be fair no one ever said this was a free speech site

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's literally what this site was founded on. Stop lying.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

the site has a pyramid, which is vague and gives mods discretion to delete and ban based on their feels. Where was it ever said by magnora or anyone that this is a free speech site?
