How to get banned from r/Feminism

denyjunctionfunction · 2016-12-18T17:55:41+00:00

It looks like they are behind on banning people. Usually this is enough.

This kind of post is normally removed as it violates our subreddit policies. However, I have been travelling and didn't see it. At this point, with the number of participants and comments, removing it would also have a detrimental effect to that valuable discussion. As a result, I will be leaving this up.

Those who continue to report it won't be satisfied with the response.

im_a_little_tea_pot · 2016-12-18T22:05:02+00:00

I don't actually agree with what OP says in his argument. However, it is a valid argument and I don't see why he should be banned for it. So I tried to post a PNG of this, with the title "Is it right to ban people we don't agree with". Guess what? I got banned.

ScotWithOne_t · 2016-12-18T18:51:39+00:00

Isn't intimidation and coercion illegal? By doing either, you're not physically hurting someone, just making them feel unsafe enough to do your bidding.

So, depending on how you look at it, they may have a point. But shutting down the discussion and banning someone making an opposing point is retarded.

CristabelYYC · 2016-12-18T20:25:53+00:00

I have been a feminist since age 9. I was banned for suggesting an abused woman should have left a man who, among other things, got a neck tattoo of her name two months after they met. She ignored red flags, I muttered something about taking responsibility and...banned.

guy_from_sweden · 2016-12-18T22:15:14+00:00

Almost all subreddits strive to become echo chambers, while simultaneously condemning them. To be honest, that also includes this one. What seems like a reasonable, justified ban in one subreddit is often easily spun to look very much the opposite in another one.

In this case, OP went into /r/feminism and spoke out against the notion that women have a right to feel safe. To us it looks a lot like OP was banned for saying something that makes perfect sense - you can't just claim that you are supposed to feel safe without a reasonable basis behind it. To them, it probably looks a lot like OP is promoting behaviour that is technically legal but considered sexist. Think stuff like cat calling. If you're a woman walking out during the evening and you pass by a group of men that cat call you - you're going to feel very unsafe although statistically the chances of them doing anything illegal in this situation is very low. That's the type of "feel safe" that /r/feminism consider obvious and that it looked to them as if OP was arguing against, even though I bet most of us in here would agree that no woman should feel unsafe while out and about on her own because other people act like pigs around her.

EDIT: Lots of good responses coming in. Allow me to clarify a few things.

Cat calling as a behaviour should not be outlawed. I believe however that we men have a greater responsibility to speak up against it. Likewise, women cat calling should also be spoken up against. The behaviour isn't harmful per se but it really doesn't fit in a modern society in my opinion. If somebody wants to do it, that is fine I guess? But right now a lot of people seem to be convinced the behaviour is okay.

No, OP should not have been banned. That was sort of the point with this comment. I think both OP and the /r/feminism user had valid thoughts on the matter but due to OP being banned it seems that he had no option to clarify that and make them understand.

And no, I don't actually think this subreddit is ban happy in particular. When I type "strive to become" the word 'subconsciously' fits in there too. What I mean is that hivemind thinking is commonplace here as with most other subs and this caused us to view stuff one sided, as I believe this post to be an example of.

Sushiandcat · 2016-12-18T22:50:55+00:00

Female 50 here, I tend to agree that ensuring people are safe is more important than trying to make them feel safe. I think being safe is a generic male and female, adult and child, issue but what makes someone feel safe is an individual issue. I don't think we can guarantee anyone's safety but we should strive to create a society where everyone is valued and in that valuation people are made safe because if you value something you tend to protect it and keep it safe. I think it was inappropriate to ban you for raising a point of view which was not particularly offensive, derogatory or anti women.

Xavenne · 2016-12-18T20:53:44+00:00

What does this have to do with Men's Rights? Aren't we pro-men's rights, not anti-feminism?

MR_SHITLORD · 2016-12-18T20:31:26+00:00

Yeah, I got banned for something similar. Was having an argument with someone about crime against women (I think?) and how there's never been a safer time for women (or the rest of us) in western civilization. I quoted a few sources proving my point and asked if they truly believe that civilization 20, 50, 100, 250, or 500 years ago was safer?

She replied that my idea and sources were good, but she still feels like she isn't as safe as before and that's all that matters. I was banned shortly after.

Indigoh · 2016-12-18T20:59:27+00:00

Before I ask this I should clarify; I hate the whole bullshit radical feminism movement, as you all do. I believe a lot of those feminists are whining about bullshit. I agree with a lot of things posted here, And no I'm not some green haired liberal cuck, just trying to have a civil discussion because I'm confused.

Why should someone not feel safe walking down the street? There may not be anything to warrent panic, but why shouldn't people feel safe in society?

JimmyLongnWider · 2016-12-18T22:24:52+00:00

Was banned myself. Go figure.

As a male, you can participate in only three ways within r/Feminism:

You can say nothing. This means you are part of the problem you misogynistic piece of shit.
You can agree that women have legitimate issues and point out how men face the same issues sometimes, and other issues other times. Men face issues? I don't think so, you misogynistic piece of shit.
You can grovel and apologize for your very existence and agree wholeheartedly with every single thing your feminist masters say. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. You're still a misogynistic piece of shit, but we'll let you stay and carry heavy things for us.

silverscrub · 2016-12-18T20:49:28+00:00

This can be both correct and incorrect entirely depending on context. If you work at a gas station and someone robs you with an unloaded gun you will be safe. You will definitely not feel safe though. If a woman is afraid she will get raped by ever man she meets she probably needs therapy more than anything.

ThirdProcess · 2016-12-19T02:43:22+00:00

Definitely not on either side here. And also have no cobext. But if your feelings of safety were irrelevant we would have intimidation laws. "But Officer there were no bullets in the gun, he was never in any real danger." You can completely ruin a person's life by keeping them in a state of fear. Hence anti-stalking laws. Even certain types of torture like fake executions are on the no no list. A feeling is very relavent. Consider the issue of Police Officers using lethal force, they have to feel threatened.
So feelings are important. It just raises a more complex question of "was your feeling reasonable?". If there isn't some guideline and restraint we'd all be at the mercy of over reactors. (Not real) example: 12 year comes at cop with a whiffle bat. If the cop is not very brave can they claim the felt threatened enough to use lethal force? Let's hope not.
Ignoring feelings is just wanting things to simpler then they are. Things should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.

definitelyjoking · 2016-12-18T18:48:49+00:00

You're wrong though. People have a right to feel safe from imminent harm. It's why assault is a separate crime and tort from battery. The limitation is that the apprehension of imminent harm has to be objectively reasonable, so unreasonable feelings of imminent harm aren't protected. We absolutely say that you have a right not to fear imminent harm though, and assault is a pretty ancient cause of action.

fluffstravels · 2016-12-18T22:21:47+00:00

This is my first time posting in this sub but honestly this is pretty stupid. Society actually does make an effort to make people feel safe and it's fine they do. There's a point where it can get in the way of free speech and that I disagree with.

Lol what? You both are really dumb. Why not have people feel safe through sensible goals and legislation if necessary? This war on feminism has become a pissing contest with both sides yelling at one another too loudly to listen and make progress. Some of y'all are worse than the SJW you bitch about. Extremism is never good.

lasermancer · 2016-12-18T21:48:58+00:00

How to look like an asshole, make a post bragging about how you got banned in a feminist sub.

You would have probably defended the UMN football players.

stidf · 2016-12-18T19:28:26+00:00

I actually disagree with you a on the feeling of security. Without that feeling of security the social compact of society begins to fray. It also strokes people's flight or fight instincts which depending on the location and surroundings can cause direct bodily harm to others. People being crushed by stampedes of people or riots don't happen if people feel secure in their persons while in public. I would argue that it is next to impossible to pursue happiness effectively without the feeling of security.

CriminalMacabre · 2016-12-18T19:08:35+00:00

Does the pursuit of happiness ring any bell?
Constitution maybe?
And what can't be done if you don't feel safe?
That's right kids.
The problem with rad fem is that they perceive threats anywhere and demand action from society, when it's all in their head. It's our responsibility to provide better education and better mental health

goatmebro · 2016-12-18T22:28:34+00:00

Wow. Feminists really piss me off. You make such a solid point that feminists should be like; hey that's a fucking valid idea. We should start focusing on behaviors of others not our own feelings.

As a women I am well aware that I will not feel safe walking down a dark alley at midnight. I will not feel safe if I am drunk and surrounded by strangers. I will not feel safe if I'm having an anxiety attack. But, as a logical human being I know these are all either situations I put myself in or are psychological in nature and have absolutely nothing to do with the actions of men.

Now if a man(or woman) came up to me and tried to put their hand down my shirt, I'd be not only afraid but fucking livid. That's an actions that's possible to police and should not be acceptable. It is not the same as a feeling.

Drag0nV3n0m231 · 2016-12-18T19:15:25+00:00

You do have the right to feel safe. To feel safe to a reasonable extent is the same as actually being safe and having your rights be upheld. If my rights as a citizen and human being can be disregarded in a court of law, or infringed upon without punishment, it is reasonable for me to feel unsafe. Nobody said anything to conclude that their idea of being safe is unreasonable, you are just assuming that. You could be entirely correct that their idea of safe is unreasonable. But either way, you essentially saying that the general feeling is citizens should be ignored is just a rather childish way of viewing things.

Atheists4Trump · 2016-12-18T22:32:17+00:00

Guys, come one with this shit. You can legally defend yourself using lethal force because of feelings. You guys don't have the logical high ground here because the law is not on your side. I certainly have the right to feel safe, and if you threaten that I have the legal grounds to defend my safety. And to an extent you have that protected by the 2nd and 4th amendment, castle laws and stand your ground laws. If i see a person pointing a gun at my head I don't need to wait for anything more than my feelings of potential harm before defending myself.

I think Mensrights needs a overhaul. Getting banned by a sub with bad rules should not get you to all, its ignorant. We have actual issues. One of the biggest I see coming is only women will get maternity leave. We know two parent households are better. yet we actively encourage their destruction and the marginalization of our rights.

But why care about actual mensright issues when you guys trolled a feminist.

FultonPig · 2016-12-18T19:45:21+00:00

I was banned years ago for explaining in the most polite way I could that the wage gap is a lifetime earnings gap and how they are not the same.

Thomasedv · 2016-12-18T21:38:32+00:00

I do kinda disagree with you(both? Not sure what safe in that context means). I think you should seek for physically and mentally healthy people in a society. That involves feeling safe from verbal threats, and potentially material damage. Sure you might not be hurt, but even the treath of physical damage, not directly said, but a self thought out consequence of something, can be unhealthy.

That's not to say the ban was fair, but you very directly said their opinion was wrong, and that does very easily trigger those kinds of people, if that makes sense. A polite, "I disagree", might have been less likely to cause such an reaction. I think a lot of peole, with less mod power, also react badly when you outright state opinion as fact, but can only downvote, outside of banning. Those mods just don't have the objectivity to be a in proper control. (As in, they ban people that may only sound slightly rude, and not really breaking rules.)

smexxyhexxy · 2016-12-18T21:23:59+00:00

Society absolutely should strive to make people feel safe. Although actually being safe is more important.

Also if someone tries to make you feel unsafe that could qualify as assault which is of course illegal.

If you feel unsafe for foolish reasons then your being a fool. I think that is probably your point?

You shouldn't have gotten banned, but you were definitely wrong. Feeling safe is crucial in today's society. Feeling safe is part of one's health. Without the feeling of security, you can develop paranoia and possibly other worse conditions.

contractor808 · 2016-12-18T21:24:50+00:00

ehjhockey · 2016-12-18T20:27:49+00:00

I dunno. A lot of people feel more afraid of terrorism than dying by falling in the bathtub. And that's a way more likely cause of death for Americans than terrorism. But if we worked as hard to prevent terrorism as we work to prevent bathtub falls, there would be a national guardsmen stationed in every bathroom across the county.

People's feelings of security are relevant to public policy.

See, coming up with a valid counter argument is easy. It's just lazy and disrespectful to ban someone for expressing an opinion that differs from your own. Shitty example of moderation.

Feminism has reached post modernism. Men and women are treated equally in the eyes of the law save for child custody laws, where women are preferred over men. The movement has changed into one where not much else can be done so they move onto non issues such as safe spaces.

you can point a gun at ppl as long as you dont pull the trigger
you can follow a person throughout there daily life
you can send ppl fake bombs in packages
you can get naked in public and chase someone down the street

the reeson u can do this is because Law Book Page 5 says:

There were two different things brought up here. The first was the right to feel safe and the second was if a society should strive to make people feel safe. I believe we could debate the former but the latter is definitely true. This is all within reasonable limits, obviously. If someone is scared of cars driving safely on the road, then I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do for you. If someone is scared of being raped then that should (and is) reflected in our laws and in our hatred of rapists.

Reddit mods and feminists are both groups with a high level of retarded membership.

Is there something wrong with feeling safe, though? I can't honestly say it's a good thing that every other girl at my college thinks there's a 1/4 chance she's gonna be raped while she's there.

docmartens · 2016-12-19T02:22:07+00:00

To be fair, I was banned from /r/justiceserved for explaining how the legal system works and a MR mod didn't feel that some women were punished enough.

I was told to "go back to my safe space" which is a court room I guess?

BITCRUSHERRRR · 2016-12-19T02:32:33+00:00

I was banned from there a few years ago for trying to find it within me to give them a shot. Literally all I said was along the lines of "I know there are some that give you a bad rap..." Banned.

Guess my assumption of them being fucking stupid was right!

Aitchy21 · 2016-12-19T02:47:31+00:00

I don't think his comment is unfair, having a right to feel safe is a bit optimistic, it's not like a right to free speech or to own a gun.

You could argue that both men and women don't feel safe, it's not just women, it's our society as a whole and where you live.

You can't demand the right to feel safe anywhere because that is not possible, no matter if your a man or woman.

This is exactly what my therapist taught me. My feelings are on me, and never ANYONE else.

Aaaaaaand I found a new favorite sub.

Kymate · 2016-12-19T04:23:38+00:00

there are a lot of troll subreddits that should get ignored, /r/Feminism is one of them

stemgang · 2016-12-19T04:24:48+00:00

I might be able to make someone feel unsafe.

But realistically, there is nothing I can do to force someone to feel SAFE.

So ultimately their demand that someone else make them feel a certain way is both absurd and a complete refusal to accept responsibility for their own emotional state.

drazzy92 · 2016-12-19T04:51:07+00:00

That sure will show that dumbass. 23k upvots and 1511 comments. You were being downvoted in that conversation, but now they're eating their words.

2016-12-19T05:46:26+00:00

You presented a concise and logical argument. What did you expect? Lol

Kinbaku_enthusiast · 2016-12-19T06:51:02+00:00

I doubt these mods made him FEEL safe.

InformalCriticism · 2016-12-19T07:26:28+00:00

Can confirm.

I was asking /r/feminism what a meaningful difference between men and women was and got banned before anyone could reply.

When I asked a mod why I was banned, they squelched me from contacting mods for 72 hours.

Pretty much a fascist echo chamber that doesn't even pretend its not.

Swinship · 2016-12-19T07:33:17+00:00

As a feminist how can you not see this and have fear or trepidation. There can't be so many militant feminists that they don't see this and think to themselves that a censored future is hell. Reasonable arguments get banned, eventually what they think is reasonable will be next when there isnt much controversy. They defeat themselves this way, do they not see it. It's like pruning a tree, you need to leave some branches lol or the plant dies.

Heh. It does work.

beerbobhelm · 2016-12-19T13:29:19+00:00

Safe is a state of mind. Designed to produce a response. Fight or flight. A responds to an event in your life will leave you with a scaled action to safe or not safe. Some people carry weapons. Some remove themselves from the area in question. Or any mix of the two. Fight or flight. Personally I carry a knife and avoid urban areas, most of the time.

2016-12-19T14:54:59+00:00

I would actually agree that everyone in a society has a right to feel safe, from physical to personal emotional attacks.

However, criticism of a person is not a personal attack. If I say to someone, "women are inferior and should be treated as such," then that is an emotional personal attack.

If I said, "Women have too many rights in some areas, creating an unequal society," that is not a personal attack. That is a criticism, and is not putting anyone in danger.

Even if you don't like it, which is fine because we live in a free society, you have no right to Infringe on another person's free speech as they have no right to infringe on yours.

iSluff · 2016-12-19T15:10:31+00:00

it's almost as if emotional well-being is part of a person's general happiness

AtomicBLB · 2016-12-19T15:26:55+00:00

I wish you worded your responses better, but I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly.
