Update: my mother just said my presentation topic is “kinda stupid” because we live in a country where we have freedom of speech, so anyone can say what they want.
She refused to hear me out when I tried to explain her my views, and called me a “know it all” (among other things).
For the record, dear mother, freedom of speech is very different from harassment. Freedom of speech is there to make your voice be heard, not to be an excuse for being inappropriate and humiliating others, upsetting their well being and personal rights.
I have the fucking right to be able to walk down the street without being dehumanized by some random asshole.
