> You have the right to protest, but not for your protest to be consequence-free.

I don't understand what you mean here. Do you mean that you have the right to protest, but then you can be punished for protesting? That doesn't sound right.

I think GP's point is that ideas are more fluid than gender. Professors can be influenced by their environment and change their mind. Most people do. By contrast you don't become male by being surrounded by men.

Also, ideas influence your life choices. That there would be few pacifists in the army doesn't prove that the army discriminates against pacifists. Maybe pacifists are just not interested by these kinds of careers.

That doesn't prove that there is no discrimination against conservatives, but it shows that there is a difference between an ideological minority and a physical one — GP's point I think.
