Can we remove Facebook posts entirely from this subreddit or at least try cutting it out for a week?

I agree. One instance of someone being a shitty person or making shitty comments does not mean it happens in general. Yeah, its fucked up and stupid what some people say, but come on.

I'm okay with a one week experiment to try it out. We can have another discussion after that week to see how the experiment went.

Also, do we approve when David Futrelle cherry picks comments from here and then makes a big deal out of how horrible we are?

Facebook comments are almost entirely useless and almost entirely ignorable.

If they should be posted anywhere it's in /r/mensrightsmicroaggressions or /r/mensrightsfacebookcomments

I would like direct links to facebook posts banned just to raise the level of discussion.

Well r/TwoXChromosomes started Image Fest Fridays in order to cut out pointless picture posts during the rest of the week. It seems to be working out pretty well for the most part. Maybe we could do Facebook Friday or something...

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but this is a Meta topic.

distract from the real discussions that should be happening here.

What do you mean by "real" discussions? One of the last facebook posts I saw was about a woman threatening to accuse her boyfriend of raping her because he wanted to break up with her. That's a real problem that fostered a good discussion whether or not the screencap was fabricated or doctored. Topics like that don't get a lot of coverage in news articles or blogs.

That's all true but reddit loves pointless circle jerky drama. The "real discussions" don't draw as much attention, too boring.

I am on board for this.

I completely agree, ban FB posts they are equal parts rage porn, assinine, and moronic. They serve no purpose but to inflame MRA sentiment against women. For our collective blood pressure and image, curtail the scourge of FB screen shots.

As long as these facebook posts don't result in an entire comments section filled with "lol all women are stupid".

If it merely serves as a primer for a good discussion to happen, then I don't see the problem. From what I've seen, that is exactly what happened in the facebook imgcap that I'm thinking of.
