Writer Soraya Chemaly shared a worrying fact.
Sounds ridiculous, but “women shouldn’t have the vote” is a common conversation in sexist online spaces. It makes its way into high schools and colleges, where I know of male students setting up “repeal the 19th” tables or holding public debates for “fun”https://t.co/Y6J5LFIXf9 https://t.co/ria3KlYHhZ

We need to get rid of the toxic and damaging notion that "everyone is allowed to have their own views" somehow means people can't be judged and ostracized for their horrible horrible opinions https://t.co/lyEmv53D3Q
