We can rightfully object to harmful cultural practices which deny people rights without denying anyone the right to speak. eg - you may say it should be OK to cut little girl's clitorises off. You may not cut little girl's clitorises off. https://twitter.com/karesoyland/status/978217138661060609 …

Am I misunderstanding you or is there some subtle difference between saying something is OK and encouraging it to be done?

Precisely. Sam Harris may argue that torture can occasionally be justified, for example. He may not incite people to commit torture.
