You can't condemn the student group of protesters for making some people uncomfortable without also acknowledging that the HOP, another student group, made a lot of people uncomfortable. It's hypocritical to advocate for the protection of Tucker Max's vitriolic opinions as free speech, and then rebuke student protesters for exercising their right to free speech by expressing another opinion.

It's very telling, though, that the author rhetorically characterizes a group of mostly female protesters as screaming children, calls them "domineering," "aggressive," condescending, and accuses them of acting maliciously. That sheds a lot of light on the author's stance.
