Go to their twitter and look, THAT is the context.  If you go to their twitter account, you can see 8hr's ago came that tweet, 24hrs before that they were commenting on the growth rate of female composers (from 6.2% to 10%) in a sarcastic fashion (This includes their tweets, and replies).  So...that's pretty much the context.

Very dissapointing and immarture of you to be frank, but its expected for most (not just you) to adopt group thought.  They have the right to free speech.  This topic should contain the context.  I assume someone called them sexist for making the comments about composers and they replied with that tweet.  If not, its your fault for not including the back story.  Either way good for them for standing up for themselves.  I only belive that everyone has a voice and should be able to speak.  We need to protect the right for both bigots and for SJW to speak their mind. 

Excuse me?  You asked about the context, I showed you how to view the context exactly as it appears on twitter under their "Tweets and Replies" tab.  Ergo, any tweet they sent, and any REPLY they sent to anything would be shown.  Is this in any way unclear?

Nobody is denying them Free Speech are they?  Did anyone stop them from saying something?  Anyone?  At all?  This is not censorship or a free speech issue, this is responding to something stated on a social media platform (pretty sure responding is what we call speech, as well).   I'm unsure why the insults were necessary (could stand to spell it correctly, though), they weren't.  Especially, when you're clearly confused about concepts like Free Speech, which is afforded to both the person submitting the opinion, and those who dissent from that opinion.
