I'm not arguing against a backlash against Ford just your comment that what Ford did should be illegal.
I have absolutely no problem with everybody in the world telling Ford what they think of the situation. Though I don't think cutting advertising to the Advocate is that big of a deal any more than I was bothered when GM cut advertising to the Los Angeles Times because they didn't like the message of that newspaper, if you do, then trying to convince Ford to change its mind is exactly what you should do.
Criminalizing opinions you disagree with is not.
wendybeth, I'm not sure what "scenario" you mean. I didn't think you literally meant beating beating women in the parking lot. I've intervened in such as well. But in the metaphorical sense I thought you meant it, yes. Mysogynists are allowed to be mysogynists until such time as they act on that mysogyny in ways that go beyond speech.
