If you really think your right to free speech/expression has been curtailed rather than expanded i last 20y, then ask yourself: what listeners were you holding captive who have now simply chosen not to listen to you, and what mechanisms were you using to detain their attention?

There's a gender relations thing here me feels.
For women, sexuality was a mechanism of involuntary speech to hold shitty men's attention which today is replaced by as way to express literal speech and exert influence.
Shitty men simply chose not to listen.
