Kathy here (a woman) wants to curb freedom of speech, Alex (a man) doesn't agree.
In Kathy's world, Alex, as a white affluent man, has no legitimate opinion on this. His thoughts count for nothing because, in her narrative, he seeks only to retain his privileged place in society. Any attempts to stop her in her quest to curtail freedom of speech are therefore labelled misogynistic. She very nearly uses the term 'check your privilege'.
Classic Gramscian tactics at play.
