Exercise for you: join the actual conversation instead of preaching from above like a schoolteacher and wielding the red marker that is the flag button when it doesn't follow your orthodoxy.

It's funny though, because the other day there was a free speech debate at the University of Toronto where a gender ideologue explicitly denigrated her opponent's outreach on Youtube as amateurish videos unworthy of consideration. Despite him being a tenured professor. [1]

Then again, both his opponents also expressed how dismayed they were that this debate was taking place at all, after they reinterpreted its topic as being offensive to common decency. They ignored the indecent actions from their camp that led to it though. It seems liberal academicians do not like debate of any kind, official or otherwise, they'll just bang on about empathy and care while denying it to those they disagree with.

Nothing you wrote responds in any way to my comment. The irony is, in response to an actual criticism of the article† you decided to preach for three paragraphs without acknowledging any part of that critique.

I'm also not an academician, or part of the academy in any sense (I joined the workforce at age 18), which makes your specific choice of sermons, well, dumb.

† which might or might not be valid (I think it is, but then I wrote it)
