I Believe In Freedom of Speech

I am of the opinion that FoS is under extreme attack from fascistic undercurrents from some strange sense of political correctness and militant feminism, and I say that as a feminist, but an egalitarian not a feminist who insists on punishment of today's male because of centuries of male misogyny in the past ages.

Without FoS there can be no progress since fear of expression predominates. I defend the right of any to say the objectionable, because it solidifies my capacity of knowing my own argument, and I believe everyone should have that same virtue of fighting for this single freedom. Without it we stagnate.

While I agree in principle, I think sometimes it needs to be moderated for social cohesion ... As an example, should radical Islamist or right wing fascists be allowed to say whatever they want in public?

Ab extreme example maybe but it illustrates the point
