Theres a whole attitude I'm concerned abt which includes actual censorship but also ppl telling others what can &can't be said
-
You're not a woman so you don't get an opinion. You don't get to tell PoC how to feel. You can't use that word coz identity.
-
Yep. And that is actually not an exaggeration of their rules, they'll explicitly lay them out for you. Absurd
-
They're more like guidelines than actual rules...
-
And if there were guidelines abt how women or PoC shld speak, we'd all see the problem.
-
They relate to things that happen often and all they do is ask people to be aware of that.
-
I know. I have a problem with "Hi! You appear to be speaking even tho you're a man & you do it a lot"
-
Did you realise you keep using your own account to tweet the way you like rather than the way I do?

As far as I can tell, "no platforming" is just students expressing their free speech, as long as they don't make threats.

No one has a right to speak on campus without objection, or to not have people say "let's cancel her & pick someone else."
-
when people who may want to hear a speaker, but a group protests so that nobody may? You see no problem there?
-
What prevents the group from renting or buying their own venue? They have no right to that particular venue.
-
Sorry, that was unclearly phrased. By "the group," I meant the people who want to hear the speaker.
-
If there's a shared resource - say, a speaking hall - everyone has a right to say how they think it should be used.
-
Including petitioning the management regarding what speakers should or shouldn't be invited. That's free speech.
-
So no, I see no problem with the principle. I do see problems with specific instances, but that's not the same.

I see "banning" and "setting up informal rules" as being completely different things. "Informal" is not a minor distinction.

I am criticising an attitude, not an action. She had the right to write that piece & she's not calling for any action.

This is my thread criticising that.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/808705234512019456 …

I've gotta get work done, but I'll come back and read your thread later. Thanks for the chat!
