Well, they don't do they, because Mill was a feminist throughout his life, a quasi-socialist towards the end, and most mentions of his defence of free speech neglect the harm principle, the most important aspect of his defence, i.e. Mill doesn't defend 'absolute' free speech.

Absolute and unqualified except for "barbarians" (i.e. the non-white majority of the human species).

No, what is ahistorical is you not being aware of racial connotation in Victorian era of words like "barbarism" and "mature"
