They think they are doing this cool thing, having this dialogue with feminists in a way that allows critique of the feminists. But to do so, they buy into many feminists tropes that are very anti-democratic free speech and frankly just abusive of non-feminists.

The worst of which is they have two threads for every issue: a feminist safe space thread similar to any SRS like or modern feminist thread that they call No Hostility, and then a thread that us shitty men that want to say something frank or real or not safe can post in. And it's worse than that, because if you read the shitty fucked up man threads then the links don't even go to the right places, because they don't want to "double ping" links. http://www.feministcritics.org/blog/about/why-you-landed-here/

Of course, you can understand which thread has the majority of the conversation in it, and which thread feels like the kids table at the grown up's party.

They toss onto that shitty banning policies, and the whole thing is just a clusterfuck of frustration and bullshit.

They do this so they can maintain some relationship with a dozen or so feminists, but it really just shows the steps one has to go through to bendover backwards to deal with feminists. Equality? Agency? Free speech? Not at feminist critics.

YMMV.
