They think they're defending freedom of expression and in reality they're defending their monopoly on speech. What they did last night is to return us to silence and impose on us the obligation to shut up. They don't want to hear our words. And all speech that doesn't come from their rank that doesn't go their way is considered like it doesn't exist. They turn us into reactionaries and puritains but it's not the spirit of liberty given life in the 70s that we're critiquing but the fact that that revolution wasn't complete, that it had a conservative aspect that, in part, the power was given to the same people. With a new system of legitimacy. In fact we're critiquing the lack of a revolution.

That is a powerful rebuke to people who try to dismiss women opposing sexual violence as prudes who hate sex. I love her.
