Is it a good thing for him to publicly state these beliefs?
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
This. If he couldn't express those views in public, he would still hold them and maybe secretly influence others.
When someone says something horrible, other people can mock that person or use logic to tear apart those views. Some views need to be heard so that they can be challenged and ripped to shreds.
All Cage has to do was say that he doesn't support stoning women. He couldn't do that. I am not certain how an anti hate speech law would work against someone who refused to condemn something like stoning. He didn't say anything offensive. It is what he isn't saying, after all, that is offensive.
Think how effective allowing freedom of speech works in this video. We know now that Cage is an asshole with very negative views on female rights. People will judge him by what he says(or didn't say) in this video.
