I think it depends on the... good-will (?) of the crowd. Like if both sides are willing to engage in reasoned debates, I don&#x27;t see anything wrong with dissent.<p>But if one side is trolling or won&#x27;t engage in good faith, then I would say that those types of people shouldn&#x27;t be able to stick around. That&#x27;s poisonous. And their continued existence lends credence to unfounded ideas.<p>I don&#x27;t think this issue of sexism is so cut-and-dry. A lot of it is informed and shaped by people&#x27;s personal experiences and we&#x27;ll never have view of everyone&#x27;s experiences with 100% clarity.<p>There will always be this natural tension when mixing &quot;well, I&#x27;m skeptical of your claim&quot; with &quot;well, you should trust what I&#x27;m saying&quot; from a disenfranchised party.
