"Diversity of thought" is a phrase used by Neo-Nazis though. Also by conservatives, Libertarians and anti-feminists.

The article has plenty of examples like Marshall DeRosa, a Florida Atlantic University professor teaches that "black supremacy" caused the US civil war, when confronted about this he used the term" diversity of thought" as a defense.
This is all part of Alt-Right and other racists using "free speech" as a shield when promoting hate. And you really have to consider who uses this phrase. You are likely to see people demanding "diversity of thought" so that they can go to a Pride rally and shout that Transwomen are just guys who chopped off their dick, preach that feminism is cancer in front of a women's shelter or go to a school and teach that the US civil war was all about states rights. What you won't see is someone demanding that a KKK rally should include a speaker from the ACLU so that there would be diversity in the speeches given.
1. Did you lump conservatives, libertarians, and anti-feminists in with neo-Nazis?
2. Yes, there are unsavory people using the phrase. But are they the only ones? I've heard the phrase a lot from people who are against the insanity and authoritarianism on college campuses.
The real problems with that post is
A) People saying feminism is bad aren't necessarily Nazis. They could be MRAs/MGTOW (which are bad, but not genocidal, lumping them together is wrong)
B) Not sure how "active" the parents are if they think its a sudden jump to the feminism is cancer part of youtube.
C) They blame youtube for hosting the videos but don't offer any feasible solution for how they should change the algorithm or w/e to prevent the "nazi" videos from being found by their son.
You say that like there aren't any legitimate reasons to dislike feminism. Two words: Duluth model.
The Duluth model is a program for fighting domestic violence created in 1981. Currently, it's the most common domestic abuse intervention program in America. It has
a lot of problems, but I'm going to focus on one in particular. The feminist theory underlining the program is that men use violence in relationships to exert power and control, while women use violence to defend themselves and/or their children. Therefore, in cases of domestic violence, the man is always to blame, and must always be the one intervened against.
Yes, that's right: feminist theory has led to the institution of
explicit and legally codified discrimination against men. Of course, there are feminists who will justify this blatant sexism by claiming that men are violent because patriarchal social norms taught them to be abusive, while women are violent only in self-defense. If this were the case, then you would expect domestic violence among lesbian couples to be virtually nonexistent.
It's not. And even if men really are more likely to abuse their wives/girlfriends than vice-versa, that doesn't justify such blatant discrimination. According to FBI crime statistics, black people are more likely to commit crime against white people than the other way around. Should we preemptively assume that the black person is in the wrong if we see a fight between a white person and a black person?
