Useful list of organizations that have gone on the record as being opposed to free speech on campus, as well as in favor of broad censorship of the Internet. I can't help but notice that the bulk of them are women's organizations. As Reynolds says, it's handy when the facists self-identify.

Indie feminist filmmaker sets out to make a documentary slamming the men's rights movement... but what she learns in the process of researching the film changes her views. Guess what happens next...
After a 17-day furor over its decision to strip pork products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates, the Bureau of Prisons has finally produced the documentation it says led to the change.
Only it’s different from what the government first said it was.
I'll steal @gabrielmalor observation that "Government is just a word for the lies we tell ourselves."

A fatwah? Death threats? Burn the witch?
Alex, I'd like to go with all three for the Final Jeopardy answer.

From Cousin Dave's link on the feminist indie film maker:
Jaye also ran into stumbling blocks during production. “I started to invite feminists to be interviewed for the film, making up about 25 per cent of the interviews scheduled,” she explains. “We had a popular feminist author who was scheduled to be in the film. After we drove down to Los Angeles, she cancelled the night before claiming she felt ‘unsafe.’”
Jaye also had a paid animator drop out of the project because he didn’t want to be part of a project that sympathised with the men’s rights movement.
The most telling evidence that she plans to produce a balanced documentary using facts to show both sides of the argument is her experience with interns: “I’ve also had interns, including a gender studies major. One girl in particular had a lot of crying attacks and emotional experiences. She claimed everything I was showing her was triggering her.”
Wow. I...dunno. I don't think it is possible to save the USofA. All that is left to do is wait and see if it becomes a plutocratic empire, or if rebellion is still possible.

On the other hand, Germain Greer may have to turn in her feminist ID card.
Now Greer’s the target for these liberal censors, as Cardiff University is being petitioned to ax her upcoming lecture there, “Women & Power: The Lessons of the 20th Century.”
And feminists support the censorship. As Kaite Welsh wrote: “Isn’t it often the way? You fight your way from the trenches to the throne, overthrow the corrupt regime and set about remaking the world in your own image, only to realize that you have become the thing you most despised.”
Greer’s gone from “revolutionary to oppressor,” she said.
A coalition of interest groups wants the U.S. Department of Education to require colleges to monitor social media and protect students from threatening and offensive comments.

Remember the pork ban in federal prisons?

Apparently, some people can't stand free speech: Yik Yak and other anonymous apps, according to the groups, are an emerging Title IX issue.

In my defense, "Perreo" kinda translates to doggy. Just.. Not in a good way.
