    This is one of the tragedies of the loss of Yahoo Answers. We have a degree of anonymity here. This means people who post politically incorrect views can do so with fewer consequences.

    On many forms of social media (eg Facebook) posting politically incorrect material can lead to consequences in your personal life. But today's politically incorrect material maybe tomorrow's truth.

    No, they should not be cancelled. The prevailing politically correct view should be robust enough to withstand public criticism and divergent views.

    Of course not, but cancel culture will get worse and since feminism is a liberal movement, many who say anything counter to feminist doctrine will get canceled.    It’s unavoidable at this point.

    Or maybe we could just all live our lives without the constant need to police what everyone else is doing. "Stick and stones..." First graders used to be able to understand that words aren't weapons and hurt feelings are just part of the human condition. We're lost as a species, honestly.

    The problem with the US constitution is that it ONLY affected what  a Government can do.  "Free speech" doesn't exist because individuals and companies are quite free to undermine the principles of that constitution.  Either we believe in free speech or we don't.  We hold that hate speech is so serious that we outlaw that type of speech.  Meaning that if there was ever a case for banning people from social media it is feminists that should be banned.  They advocate hatred against men and they advocate for discrimination and injustice.  Basically they are opposed to every principle our great countries stand for.  Tolerance and justice be damned.

    "Should people who disagree with feminism on social media be cancelled?"

    Not at all.  The entire West up until now has been the product of the Enlightenment, whereby all opinions were to be heard and discussed on their merits, and not just the Kings, or the supreme elite.  The modern day assumption in the West today however, is to push critical theory, otherwise known as cultural Marxism, which is totalitarian in nature, and does not accept any diversity of opinion beyond its own demanded ideals.  And the Left is happy to cede all freedoms to let the authorities "cancel" the opinions they don't like today.  But what about _their own_ opinions tomorrow??

    If we ever accept those principles as a society, then we are doomed.  The Left is glad to accept them now because the elite is on board with their critical theory identity politics.  But once the freedoms have been traded for the "safety" of no "hate speech" or alternate opinion that hurts the Left's feelings, then anything goes, including their safety and feelings as well as their control on the narrative for society.  The generation afterwards will have no freedoms, rights or any say in how society is run.  It will be run by the totalitarian authorities whatever way they see fit under the guise of "protecting" society.

    If you have been paying attention to what the government is doing with the proud boys and right wingers in the military you would know that what is coming up is likely to be mass genocide of everyone that disagrees with the left. 

    Cancel culture and censorship of right wing views on social media was just the beginning.
