Here's a few back atcha:
Do you think feminist viewpoints ought to be debated like any other viewpoint?
Do you think that someone simply saying that they are expressing a woman's or feminists viewpoint ought to be allowed to do so unchallenged, no matter what that individual point might be?
Do you think transphobia is a feminist viewpoint? Do you think it ought to be welcomed or respected at DU?
Do you think that, say for example, a self-identified online feminist expressing homophobia or transphobia ought to have their views treated with the same respect as one who is inclusive of all people, simply because of the identifying label they have chosen?
Do you think that women who do not identify as feminists, women who do not identify with a particular type of feminism, or men ought to be allowed in feminist discussions outside of protected groups?
