What on earth? Of course they should be. If a man can speak his mind, es/ about controversial issues there is no reason a women shouldn't be able to.
some are taught not to speak on political or controversial issues, not sure if it's upbringing or just personality trait.
The operative word there is TAUGHT! If they are taught it is upbringing. And the fact they are taught is usually a cultural/social thing.

This a very absurd question...this is a rhetorical question with an obvious answer. The vast majority of posters on this message board are "Westerners" and women are allowed to speak their mind in their respective country...whether or not the men want them to. Actually even giving thought to this subject empowers the idea that women should not be given the right to speak their minds so this should not be pondered by westerners. This same logic applies to the thought of racism: If everyone thinks about and discusses racism all the time, it empowers that thought of racism itself. This is not to say that racism should not be pondered on one level or another, but it should not be given the right of being discussed and thought about all the time. These types of thoughts condition the mind to the concept of racism, “genderism”, etc. to the point that some subconsciously develop racist tendencies without even wanting to. In some cases, this can even surface to conscience thought and become counterproductive to original point of discussion.
