Read this paragraph from a rhetorical text that argues that hate speech should be regulated.
What is most likely the warrant the writer is expressing
in this paragraph?
Sjoldiers' families, shoppers and workers are protected
From troubling speech. People of color, women walking
down public streets or just living in their dorm on a
College campus are not. The only way to justify this
disparity is to argue that commuters asked for money on
the way to work experience a tangible harm, while
women catcalled and worse on the way to work do not-
as if being the target of a request for change is worse
than being racially disparaged by a stranger.
O The writer is assuming all readers are familiar with
the phenomenon of verbal assault.
O The writer thinks it is ridiculous that the First
Amendment has been regulated to protect soldiers'
families.
O The writer is assuming that readers will identify with
soldiers' families, shoppers, and workers.
The writer would like the audience to take action
against catcallers and racists.
