Infantilism goes along with illiberalism, because while a liberal society requires a baseline of human freedom and responsibility.
If those who value free speech hope to convince the public of its enduring value, they would do well to more directly confront the poorly conceived theory behind progressive critiques, and the cynical abuse of public goodwill toward the vulnerable in society.
The evidence is there for all to see. Our Australian universities are on a hiding to nothing by surrendering to the bullying tactics of a small group of feminist activists and agreeing to get involved in the criminal justice business.

My experience shows that sometimes gender discrepancies develop within a professional field for reasons that have little to do with discrimination, and everything to do with personal choice.
#MeToo was an expression of solidarity but there is no solidarity for the accused.
The response to my posters shows that the phrase ‘female sex’ is on its way to being classified as ‘hate speech.’
#MeToo demands that all women must be believed — except where their stories upset the prevailing narrative.
