Banned from a popular sub for bigotry for... *checks notes*... calling out bigotry

Hello everyone,

first of all, I want to say that I've only recently discovered this sub (and now Richard Reeves) and it such a breath of fresh air! Thank you all, I really mean it when I say that this space has been a boon for my mental health. Please dont get corrupted like otyer groups. I'm a male with adhd and no strong sense of gender, in fact, I'd rather not be male if I had the choice but I don't have a choice and I'm so sick of being judged for the body I have. I'm naturally tall and muscular so seen as "manly" but I would trade bodies with a short woman today if i could. Sorry, tmi. Anyway, I have a strong sense of equality and justice and sadly also fell into the trap of calling myself a feminist.

I feel like I've been losing my mind trying to find a middle ground instead of being in a cyclone of /feminism, /mensrights and /menslib and all those types of people in real life. I'm in my 30s now but since by early 20s I've deeply cared about the suffering of men and boys, and of course I care about women's rights, but that's sort of a given for any decent human in my book. The same cannot be said for people who talk about men's rights. I've been close to suicide various times in my life to the point where I put my life in serious danger in what sone would call an attempt... so the issue of suicide is particularly important to me. Well all know men die by suicide at 3 or 4x the rate of women in most countries. But when I say this, people instantly say, "yeah but women attempt it more." It instantly dismisses and invalidates the suffering of men, and it's a bus statistic anyway. Are the same women attempting multiple times and spewing the numbers? Are they genuine attempts? Are women significantly more likely to self-report? The only thing we can count is the bodies. I am so sick of male suffering. :(

So that brings me around to say that I'm absolutely disgusted with some of what's allowed to fly on reddit. Open misandry and man hating. I have attached screenshots of my interaction with a sub of over 6.6 million followers. I was blocked for what you see in the screenshots, I am not hiding anything. No negative comment history or anything, in fact, my account is only a few weeks old. This was the first time I interacted with this sub.

Their behaviour is disgusting. I was RESPONDING to bigotry and hate, not being bigoted or hateful myself. And we all know the people I was responding to wouldn't've been banned. So many so-called progressive or left-leaning subs just allow, or even encourage misandry. Do these people honestly wonder why so many men are being driven to the right/abandoning the left? FYI I'm a Kiwi so I have a different experience with gender, rights and politics/political terminology to many of you. NZ has the same kind of "progressive" people and they're just so toxic. They're lazy thinkers. I dunno. And I don't mean to toot my own horn but NZ was first to give women the vote and to this day is ahead of USA in regards to tackling misogyny and abhorrent male behaviour. In a way, that's what makes the unreasonable "progressive" people here even worse. But a lot of us get so much American influence that we can forget it's different here. And I have spent time in USA BTW, in the run up to the Clinton/Trump election. Americans, your television media is toxic AS FUCK. The amount of sheer nonsense and pharmaceutical ads. Anyway....

I haven't articulated myself very well, sorry, but I earnestly think these mods and these types of people have blood on their hands and contribute very directly towards the suffering, harm and even death of men and boys.

I grew up hearing so much trashing of men to the point where even as a young boy, I felt ashamed of my gender. That's not fair. I don't think Americans my age experienced the same male hating I did, but I think Gen Z and younger did. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for being here :)

ETA: This is my second post as I didn't redact users and the sub in my first post. I've also added my entire comment history before the ban to show you that the mod is full of crap. My second comment reads weird because I was intending to be nonbianry on reddit as I have no strong sense of gender but I call myself he/him in the physical world so, though I might be blocked and prejudged, I will stay true to people with bodies like mine.
