Actually we already are at that point. Have been for about half a decade now. Or have you not kept up with intersectional feminism?

The end result is that retreat is the wrong course of action. These very people I complain of will not be satisfied until they control all speech, and if they are right thought--thankfully they are wrong. The end result of course is that the US will become one of those countries where people shoot each other over politics because in societies where people don't talk about politics they end up shooting each other over politics.
