Anyone Who Disagrees With Me is a Fascist - Australian Edition

Just because you call someone a fascist, that doesn't mean they are automatically fascist. Just because someone disagrees with you, that doesn't make them evil. And if you resort to fascist tactics in your "fight against fascism," well, you might need to look up the definition of what a fascist is, before you start calling people names.

UnHerd has this story to start us off. Three women in Australia cancelled for gender critical views. Actually it is five women, not three, but these are journalists, and math is hard. And they do focus on three.

All of these women — a journalist, a psychiatrist, an artist, a politician, and a philosophy professor — have expressed the once normal and now rapidly taboo view that a woman is an adult human female and that children’s psychological and bodily integrity (and future fertility) should be protected. That these views have become ‘incendiary’ speaks to the draconian absurdity of our present cultural moment.

This all started because of Rukshan Fernando. He published a video about the philosophy professor, Holly Lawford-Smith, which sent me looking for more info. Sadly, the one source I could find is behind a paywall, hence the link above.

Based on the video, I wanted to title this post, "What's the Opposite of Diversity? University!" How dare you have an opinion that I don't share!

This is Rukshan Fernando's video Security Guards to Protect Lecturer at Melbourne University from Trans Rights Activists
