A very positive discussion

Not sure if this is reflective of how /r/feminism operates. If it is, it is a big departure from the way it was operating...only a month or two ago. I was banned from the subreddit almost immediately.

While I'm pretty pleased with the discussion in that thread, I found this ironic:

This kind of post is totally welcome here, and you can say pretty much whatever you want here as long as long as you say it respectfully.

I would respond to that myself, but I was banned for politely disagreeing with someone.

So far, there's no discussion at all there of any concrete issues to do with men and women. You've agreed that good things are good and bad things are bad. They're giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you're not one of the misogynist Bad MRA's (boo!), you're a feminist-auxiliary (yay!) Good MRA.

While it was a good discussion, I couldn't get past this:

and you can say pretty much whatever you want here as long as long as you say it respectfully.

I almost died laughing.

this is not an np link.
as you can see, this is not the experience of most of our users. it is nice to see them be somewhat respectful (even /u/demmian who is, imho, a complete dick to people without reason), i wouldn't take them at their word though. I think I agree with the other poster - it is not because we have the same goals, but because they are seeing that people are really pissed about getting shafted just because they are guys :( and its really sad that it had to get so bad before they could see that they need to worry about everybody. Because every human being should have value.

I am very glad they way /r/feminism handled this post. We can work together and talk to each other when we want it seems.

Wow, they are really on their best behaviour in that thread. Nothing like other examples that have come up.

Usually when I read threads like that, half the comments are deleted.

When linking to other subreddits please use "np" instead of "www".

Just wait until a issue that feminists support which discriminates against men comes up... like VAWA.
