This is slippery slope . I can see government shutting down valid criticism by using “sexism or racism” card.

Already happening, the amount of valid criticism of Liz truss that was written of to sexism was stagering imho

To be fair, how much valid criticism of feminism gets mixed in with foaming at the mouth misogyny on the internet. I can’t remember the last time I read a valid critique of feminism, and toxic femininity that didn’t end up next to way past the line of decency red-pill takes. The internet is a confusing mess.

I was told that opposing a downtown baseball stadium was racist. So yeah we've already slid down that slope

You think?

Pretty much everything anybody says which somebody else does not agree with is "racist". Unless it relates to a woman, in which case it's "sexist". And obviously it's illegal to make claims such as "men cannot bear children".

Now, the mindbogglingly thing here is not that governments wants to censor. That's what they do. Rather, it's that the woke cancel culture still has so broad support that politicians push through with it. In a free society, it ought to be political suicide to even as much as propose a law like this. Yet here we are, with more and more censorship and cancel laws.
