I don't have the exact quote for you, but Dr. Warren Farrell was one of the first people to notice this back in the early 90s when he went from the president of NOW to pariah because he started to ask about men's issues.
He said (again, paraphrasing, because I need to read The Myth of Male Power again) that for the radical left, suppression of speech is tolerated and even celebrated because it is not seen as suppression of free speech, but as the elimination of hate speech.
i hate the "distinction" of hate speech and free speech. hate speech is free speech. what's freedom of speech protecting if you're not allowed to say things people don't like?
Unfortunately, that's not how the Left sees it. The hypocrisy of their actions have gone completely over their heads, and there's no way you'll ever make them see. The rabid mob at the heart and center of the far left wing of American politics will never be placated or changed.

I agree with you completely.
