      yup. A good intellectual test would be asking whether people would draw the same conclusion on intent about the gesture if:

      A) it were sexual coming from a person with a history of sexually harassing comments who provides a sexual joke for explanation B) it were a direct insult (like middle finger) from a person with a history of verbally abusive comments, who provides a fuckyou joke for explanation.

      People usually have very little difficulty judging the intent in those situations.

      If endorsing the freedom of speech makes you alt-right, then I guess I’m alt-right.
