Firstly, asking ourselves questions about free speech and its limitations as a response to the attacks lets in the idea that there could be a legitimate justification for retaliating against someone’s expression with brutality. I don’t think I’m alone in believing that this idea is ridiculous.

While it is generally accepted that current society is patriarchal, few among those who identify themselves as feminist acknowledge that, for example, the right for a male to show weakness and sensitivity has not yet been established — which has greater consequence than simply preventing him from being able to cry.

On Aug. 9 last year, 18-year old Michael Brown was fatally shot in Ferguson, Missouri. Another unjustified police shooting, another abrupt end to a life and another black teenager dead.
At the request of Mr. Rohrback, we have compiled a list of facts that we deeply believe the PPA should rely on.
