The attempt to stop Germaine Greer from speaking at Cardiff University has served as a wake-up call to feminists everywhere. People who once advocated the banning of pornography, the black-bagging of lads’ mags and the sanitisation of everyday life in the name of protecting the allegedly feeble fairer sex are now coming to learn the age-old lesson of censorship: if you legitimise it, it will come back to bite you.

Well, not all feminists. Many are now claiming that the No Platforming of Greer or Julie Bindel is not the inevitable result of the industrial scale of modern intolerance. No. It’s because they are women! Even as their own censoriousness comes home to roost, they are still intent on playing the victim card. Here’s a handy list of previously banned speakers for the feminists who think campus censorship is all about them:

Daniel Taub You think it’s hard being a feminist on campus? Try being pro-Israel, or, worse still, from Israel. Nothing is more likely to get you picketed and shut down on a British campus. This is what Israeli ambassador Daniel Taub found out when he was due to take part in a closed event at the University of Edinburgh in 2012. It was promptly interrupted and shut down by pro-Palestine students. The group said ‘it is an unacceptable situation when someone with such abhorrent and dangerous views can be brought on to campus’. And it’s not let up since then – Taub is picketed at almost every campus he visits.

Marine Le Pen Another, oft-forgotten victim of misogynistic censorship is Front National leader Marine Le Pen. When she tried to speak at the Oxford Union last year student groups picketed the event, brandishing banners that read ‘Le Pen, never again’. It’s unclear whether it was her anti-immigrant politics or her lack of a Y chromosome that was the real cause of the outrage. But let’s face it, it was definitely the latter.

Brendan O’Neill and Tim Stanley spiked editor Brendan O’Neill and Telegraph journalist Tim Stanley were banned from speaking at a debate at Christ Church, Oxford last year. All because neither of them had a uterus. They were due to debate the motion ‘This House Believes Britain’s Abortion Culture Hurts Us All’. Christ Church cancelled the event, citing ‘welfare concerns’, after students threatened to disrupt the debate. According to the protesters, the two men were not biologically qualified to debate the topic, one of them writing in the Independent that ‘my uterus isn’t up for their discussion’. Neither O’Neill nor Stanley were under the impression that it was.

Haitham al-Haddad Islamic preacher Haitham al-Haddad has been banned at the University of Kent and the University of Westminster over comments he has made about homosexuality, women’s rights, and what he termed ‘the right way’ to carry out FGM. Protesters who called for him to be banned at Westminster said, ‘As students, we should never be met with the possibility of facing hate’.

Dapper Laughs Cardiff University has a terrible reputation for free speech – Germaine Greer is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2014, controversial lad comedian Daniel O’Reilly, also known by his stage persona Dapper Laughs, was banned from performing at the students’ union after a petition accused him of peddling ‘rape culture’. Surprisingly, no feminists came to his defence.

Charlie Hebdo We know, he’s not a real person. But if you needed any more convincing that students’ unions are hostile to free speech across the board then look no further than the reaction of two students’ unions to the massacre at the French magazine’s offices in January: the University of Bristol’s SU banned the sale of the Charlie Hebdo memorial edition because it contravened the union’s Safe Space policy, while the University of Manchester Students’ Union stopped its Free Speech and Secularist Society from handing out copies of the edition at the university re-freshers’ fair.

George Galloway No-hope London mayoral candidate and all-round windbag George Galloway is one of the lucky few who has been personally No Platformed by the NUS. The reason? He referred to Julian Assange’s alleged sexual indiscretions as ‘bad sexual etiquette’. He’s since been blocked from speaking at the University of Chester, among others, on the charge that he’s a rape apologist.

Hen Mazzig In 2014, Hen Mazzig, a lieutenant in the humanitarian unit of the Israel Defence Forces, was prohibited from speaking at King’s College London by students’ union officers. In an ironical twist, the union’s safe-space officer reportedly roughed up the event’s organisers as he tried to clear the room.
