They love shouting about women holding up half the sky, but hate being reminded of who that means holds up the other half.

/r/mensrants too. This sounds like a great post for there. you are a man who's not a male ally so you are automatically a branch of PATRIARCHY!

Here's what probably happened:

A regular there didn't recognize you. She looked at your comment history, saw something she didn't like, and reported it to the girlstapo. Ultimately, you got banned for not fitting in or because they thought you looked like an infiltrator.

The /r/feminism space is not for questioning feminism, they created a separate area for that called /r/askfeminists.

The sin of free speech.

2013-08-21T13:16:03+00:00

You have a penis, you apparently sinned like hell right there

saint2e · 2013-08-21T12:26:21+00:00

You didn't toe the company line.

Stephen_Morgan · 2013-08-21T18:57:25+00:00

All top-level comments over there have the be femnist in nature. If you go over there, you have to play by their rules. So don't go over there.

Eh, it's like telling devout theists that their religion is right, for them, but other religions might be right for other people.

It's apparently highly offensive to even suggest the notion that other theologies might also be valid.

DavidByron · 2013-08-21T17:39:48+00:00

You criticised feminism, therefore you're banned.

That's how hate movements and cults operate. You're either with them or against them and clearly you weren't looking like the former with that post.

2013-08-21T19:34:26+00:00

meh.. welcome to the club.. albeit not as exclusive. But that's a good thing. You should prolly unsubscribe while your at it.

Perpetual_dissident · 2013-08-21T19:42:55+00:00

well, the mod of that sub /u/demmian is a total cunt.

theozoph · 2013-08-21T22:00:27+00:00

Man, I've been banned 2 days ago and I hadn't even posted there.

Bitches be crazy. That's all there is to it.

Ging287 · 2013-08-21T22:15:10+00:00

You loudly waltzed in and threw out an obnoxious comment to validate yourself. You didn't contribute to the conversation. If you have real issue take it up with the mods, otherwise stop trying to stir up shit here.

DarthOvious · 2013-08-21T12:37:41+00:00

You're a man. Thats the only reason they need.

avantvernacular · 2013-08-21T12:41:02+00:00

Half the solution for gender problems. So like, 1/64^th of the solution to all problems.

theskepticalidealist · 2013-08-21T14:56:18+00:00

Calm it down you Misogynist prick.

iongantas · 2013-08-21T21:42:20+00:00

Feminist ideology holds that focusing just on women will solve the problems for everyone. You contradicted this and are therefore an apostate/infidel/excommunicated.

mcndjxlefnd · 2013-08-21T15:42:59+00:00

You were trolling. The question was "What is the Definition of Feminism". Your reply was "Feminism is just half of the solution for human problems and issues". Your post didn't answer the question or add to the discussion, instead you tried to refocus the thread and make it about the MRM.

What you could have said was:

"Feminism is a political movement that attempts to eliminate disadvantages women experience solely because of their gender. I do think, however, that Feminism is limited to women's issues. While many feminists champion gay and lesbian causes (and many other disadvantaged classes of people) under the feminist banner, I don't think it's appropriate to expand the tent of feminism to cover other minorities. The title 'feminism' has too strong an association with the female gender to adequately represent all oppressed peoples.

I think that's what gets MRA, for example, bent out of shape. it's hard to argue that 'feminism' is the solution to male issues by virtue of the name alone. It implies that only women can save men from the oppressive dimensions of their gender.

That's why I think that the word feminism should only refer to women's issues. It is better for each oppressed class of people to have their own movements and labels, but to ally with one another for having a similar cause. I know my opinion runs counter to popular opinion, but that's how I feel."
