Ban-Happy Feminists?

EvilPundit · 2013-08-12T04:24:07+00:00

That is typical behaviour on any feminist-run forum. They hate dissent and they don't tolerate it if they can stop it.

This also applies in the wider world, where feminists attempt, often successfully, to shut down any sort of expression they don't like, or which challenges their beliefs.

If you question anything or use logic or don't agree unequivocally with everything said then you're gunna get banned.

Please use the correct femspeak term. You were not banned, you became an unperson.

You're not allowed to disagree.

Happened to me too a few days ago. I made a post on here but you definitely got a better response. The mod of both those subs (/u/demmian, is the most likely culprit, you could say) is a little bit ban-happy and just wrecks anything that disagrees with him.

Edit: I forgot, he bans anyone who "isn't a feminist" (even though he doesn't ask anyone, I just assume he looks through your profile) who directly replies to a post. It's a stupid way of saying "agree with me or you can haz ban hammer."

Even if you politely disagree, they will ban you without warning. Especially if you provide factual evidence to support your claims. Some of them will ban you simply for being male. Because the mods in those subreddits or feminist forums can run things the way they want, most of them run it like a dictatorship.

I made 4-5 comments on there, and I did argue with them but was never offensive to anyone and wasn't really trying to dismiss everything just the things that were a bit ridiculous to me. And of course I got banned. So yeah they are pretty banhammer - happy

Well, one thing's for sure, it's certainly not doing feminism any favors with its image problem.

They tried to do the same thing at the University of Toronto.

Seems pretty normal from what I can tell there is a constant string of people on this forum complaining similarly as you.. same thing happened to me not long ago. Their culture is very .. fragile.. for lack of a better word.

You think that's bad! I got banned from the UK subreddit for disagreeing on some feminist point or another. Who'd a thunk it? Seriously, these people infiltrate every bloody thing they can find, precisely so they can quash dissent whenever it pops up.

PerniciousOne · 2013-08-12T15:21:54+00:00

Being logical and being aware of statistics does not work well in feminist circles. This is why they do not allow differing opinions on their articles and videos. Just look at Anita sarkesian's videos. She does not allow voting or comments, because it would mean that she actually has to defend her viewpoint.

DavidByron · 2013-08-12T15:51:33+00:00

Is it normal for feminists to be so banhammer-happy

Not only is it normal, it's mandatory. You will never find a feminist site that is not ban-happy. Reason is that any feminist site that did not defend its ideology that way would cease to exist. I haven't seen any such sites in twenty years now.

What moderators do in other subreddits is not an issue of men's rights.

Look! Atheism Plus is just as bad! http://imgur.com/OjUQoTd

I got banned from r/mensrights on another throwaway account for the exact same reason... It works both ways (and I don't think it's acceptable in either case!)

ThePraetor · 2013-08-12T04:46:46+00:00

Sometimes when you violate the norms or (in the case of r/askfeminists, posted rules) of a community, you don't get to participate in it anymore.

Sorry.
