'Stop talking abt this/like this' is authoritarian & entitled. 'I strongly disagree with what you say' is criticism.

I don't think we should gender minor annoyances (like "manthreading").But overuse of "authoritarian" is also bad.

"Authoritarian" implies a political program. It implies fascism. It is not interchangeable with the word "bossy."

No, I don't think so. Its useful to describe a controlling, censorious attitude in social justice now. Opposite of libertarian

We need to be able to discuss conflicting attitudes re: freedom now. Whether ppl shld be free to say what they want or not.

Yes, but where did she suggest people shouldn't be free to (ugh) "manthread"? Where did she call for them to be stopped?

Not every time someone says "you shouldn't say that" is attempted censorship. Ignoring that nuance is bad for discussion.

Thanks for telling me or I'd totally have thought it was. Please tell me more about how to have a conversation?

Again, I thought you brought it up when you said she was being "censorious." Sorry if I misunderstood you.

OK, sorry for the snark then. No, it's part of a huge whole shift towards less freedom, more shaming & policing & limiting.
