So... what, exactly? Communities should coddle and accommodate people with offensive and bigoted opinions just because that's their "opinion"? Even if those people are actively seeking to deny those selfsame community members their rights? Bullshit. Bullshit. Women shouldn't be obligated to tolerate sexism in their communities.
I'm not saying people can't debate those issues, or what-the-fuck-ever. But no one is obligated to sit down and have a debate with someone who is spewing offensive, gross garbage. Especially not women in a feminist community who have someone coming in going "you know what, I don't think you women deserve the right of bodily autonomy after all! BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION LULZ." They absolutely have the right to tell that person to get the fuck out of their community and come back when they're less of sexist douchebags.
Or well, that's my opinion. It wouldn't be the first time I've gotten shit for refusing to "tolerate" anti-choice opinions. But as far as I'm concerned, if you're anti-choice you're anti-woman, and if you're anti-woman, you're anti-me (being a woman). And well, would you be friends with someone who was anti-you? Didn't think so.
