Some of you need to understand the difference between “freedom of speech” and “hate speech”
Granted, the lines can be extremely blurry, but how well can you defend someone’s right to:
Call women morons, feminazis and cunts
Equate the denial of “misandry” (a concept that is overwhelmingly rejected by everyone who understands gender politics) to denying ...

Today, my mother was talking to my relatives who live in Syria, and they said: “What is our luck? We left Iraq in 2005 to escape the war, and now, we’re surrounded by death again. Does war follow us?”
