Sane woman refutes the feminist censors:

Yet another reason to look forward to the eventual collapse of that website.

Why can't we beat them at their own game? If I posted a collection of misandrist fb pages, would people be willing to report them?

Of course, we will have to censor videogames and attractive women on facebook too, because they directly contribute to the epidemic of domestic violence against women. /s

If any of the men's rights related groups I follow on FB are targeted by this new policy, that will be when I finally delete my FB profile. There are already plenty of good reasons not to use FB, and this would be the last straw.

i tried reporting some pages today and got a auto email after afew hours stating:

Thanks for your recent report of a potential violation on Facebook. After reviewing your report, we were not able to confirm that the specific page you reported violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

So i guess violence against men is a ignored topic on facebook.

I've got no problem with this, but I do have a problem with the uneven application of the moderating. I'd like to see this applied with equal importance to men and women.

Hey guys, i took a look at some of the stuff they didn't like and it's actually pretty bad: http://www.womenactionmedia.org/examples-of-gender-based-hate-speech-on-facebook/

We SHOULD be against this stuff whether it applies to men or women.

If you see a page or image on Facebook that is similarly violent towards men, report it. If the report doesn't work, PM me with the link and i'll try to formally contact Facebook.

Here is what should happen. Men leave. If 70% of the men on facebook leave, because facebook is no longer conducive to their rights, a likely % of women would soon follow them. One of facebooks big draws, is the social interaction between men and women, without the bulk of men there, the bulk of women would have little reason to stay. Who do you think facebook is more worried about losing? The majority of men, or 5-10% of their women who identify as whiny, radical feminists?

I can't really complain though. Up to now, facebook has seemed pretty good with its group deleting patterns. Not perfect, but better than some things might be.

I actually just opped over here because i saw an article about this on the BBC app.
Initially the article claimed facebook was cracking down on hate speech, but it quickly identified feminist groups as the main drive behind this change. My take on it (and i seriously doubt i'm saying anything new, but i'll say it anyway) is that these groups are citing obscure incidences and personal experiences, niether of which i consider credible. I've never heard of ANY of the pages they mentioned in my entire stay on facebook, nor has anyone I asked. Furthermore, what is their opinion of speech that degrades women, that's so broad, and why don't they give a shit about deragatory speech against men which i myself frequently see.
