For me, it's really important to have the both sides of the story, the different points of view. This is the reason I'm on both Men's right reddits and feminists ones. I don't consider myself a feminist or even an MRA because both "side", if we can call it like that, have good points and bad ones. Even if, I have to admit, feminism seems to fail a lot more than men's rights.
Like the title said, I have been banned from r/Feminism. And for such a small thing it makes me both want to laugh and despair. When I comment on this reddit, I'm always very carreful to not mention men since it's forbidden by their "derailing" rule. My goal there is to hear the feminists opinions, not challenge them since I know it would be pointless.
Today, one redditors make a post how astonished she was to notice how the misoginy was everywhere even in her own behavior. Everyone seemed to agreed with her but without ever giving an exemple. Which I have asked by this message : "Do you have any example ?" (If you want the link to the post, send a pm)
A few hour later, I was banned. I asked why and the answer was : "Consistent derailing of discussions and breach of the informativity rule, sidebar. no further communication is wanted." And I was muted for one month. Amusing considering I may have posted a comment less than five times in several months. And also because I can't find this informativity rule in the sidebar. (I have set my suscribed reddit to private, I think that's the reason. but if the moderators had see me on this reddit, I think the result would have been the same)
I know I'm not the first one to fall under some blatant undeserved ban. I'm more amazed by how little it demand to get it. I'm not even a little surprised by this reaction but I can't help me think about how these people live their live. How have they come to the point they are so sensitive about this ? What are their reasons, their stories ?
Do you have some thoughts on that ?

Muting people is such bs. All it says is that mods are too fragile to handle being challenged. Instead, you're sent you a corner... which is so damned condescending, it's downright insulting to any decent human.
I'm highly empathic, and have empathized with women for likely longer than you've been alive. Having said that, I've lost interest in continuing to empathize with people who refuse to do the same for me. Trying to mingle with them, while appreciating their PoV has landed you being burned. This is what you get for genuinely believing that people want to be rational. Sucks, doesn't it?
