I tried to discuss the wage gap rationally in r/feminism. I kept it respectful, but what was I expecting for them to reciprocate? I guess they weren't able to refute anything I said. I take that as a win.

Because if you’re not a feminist you’re uneducated...so go ask a feminist for the correct answer.

rationally in /r/Feminism

Well that's your problem right there.

I got banned from there too for pointing out the "wage gap" is because men as a whole work more than women, and that it wasn't because of anyone being paid more or less for the same work. I think they just ban people who post things they don't want to hear.

I would expect their moderators would be feminists, so contacting them would be a complete waste of time.

You cannot discuss something with somebody that has no facts or logic supporting them. All they have to stand on is hate and emotion. You can't argue with crazy.

There's no civil discussion to be had with feminists on the wage gap issue because feminists already know that the wage gap isn't what they purport it to be. There's video going back 30-40 years where economists and other experts go over why male earnings are larger than female earnings; and it is earnings, not wages, because it's been illegal since forever to wage discriminate based on things like sex.

Women, as a whole, earn less than men as a whole because they have the majority of the part-time jobs, they work in less skilled and less dangerous/dirty jobs, they're less aggressive when it comes to personal advancement, and if they get pregnant and have children, they can be out of the workforce for months/years. Women earn less money over the course of their lives because of the choices they make during the course of their lives; the women that buck those trends and in effect emulate men in workplace behavior often make MORE than their male counterparts because society's been so cucked by feminist ideology that every advantage is given to them. Both Google and the BBC, who had feminists complaining about the wage gap myth, dropped their complaints right quick when it was discovered in due diligence that in fact it was the MEN who were being paid less there, comparatively. I don't see those women agitating for the men to be paid a fair wage.

The 'wage gap' is a cover for the 'earnings gap', and is used as a bludgeon by women and feminists in order to agitate for unfair wage/pay rates for them at the expense of their male counterparts. They know it's bullshit, but they stand to make more money by perpetuating the myth, so OBVIOUSLY they're going to clamp down on anyone opening the subject up for discussion, because the reality is they've known for decades now what the truth is, just like the cigarette industry knew that smoking caused cancer for decades before they were forced to admit it in court.

Usually, I remove posts about being banned from other subs because it happens quite a lot. This sub would be cluttered up with these kinds of posts if I did not remove them.

In this case, there is some discussion happening so I will leave it.

bhullj11 · 2019-04-05T19:27:04+00:00

Communities like that are textbook “the real world is too difficult for me so I’m just going to retreat into my own little world where everyone is forced to agree with everything I say”

Your first error was assuming they'll take any contrarian opinion towards their doctrine as good faith.

Second error was naively hoping for a peaceful, amiable exchange of ideas between two parties in a fiercely maintained echo chamber such as that.

Now I'm not saying this sub isn't guilty of those two things above at times. However, the worst you'll face is a downvote to oblivion. Otherwise, you need not fear being banned from here.

Let this be a lesson.

lozinski · 2019-04-05T19:59:59+00:00

You should create a subreddit /r/bannedbydeminism with screenshots of all of the reasonable comments which have been banned.

CommodorePerson · 2019-04-05T20:21:15+00:00

Read through the comments you posted, you posted two well though out comments that opened a discussion. Them banning you is just keeping there echo chamber safe.

KnightofNarg · 2019-04-05T17:31:35+00:00

With the majority of pretty much everyone banned from r/feminism maybe it's time to make a sub for actual discussion of what's posted there without interference. I think at this point it's safe to assume that even real feminists are getting banned from there because the outrageous power trip they have going on.

I get banned pretty quickly

OneFeistyDuck · 2019-04-06T00:33:22+00:00

Love that middle bit, “you’re a fucking idiot because you disagree with us but have a great day!!!”

publicbigguns · 2019-04-06T01:19:09+00:00

At least you got banned while having a discussion.

After not visiting r/feminism for months I woke up to a ban message and the reason was because I was subbed here.

A_one_legged_man · 2019-04-06T08:00:17+00:00

of course all educated people share the same perspective.

14b755fe39 · 2019-04-06T18:43:07+00:00

Dissenting opinions and posts aren't welcome there, even if you do it in a rational & respectful manner, sadly. posting will get you banned, your comments get deleted.

Hanen89 · 2019-04-05T21:45:12+00:00

Wage gap is a myth

1LegendaryWombat · 2019-04-06T03:01:28+00:00

Yeah the educated perspective thing is mostly just bullshit. Its one of those vague rules so they have a justification for a ban. Because if they enforced that rule, the sub would lose most of its members.

g7pgjy · 2019-04-06T03:53:10+00:00

That sub is a lot like here where if you're not pro movement, you're banned. Only difference is we don't lie about it.

This infantile modern day feminism is just a hipster subculture. They don't speak for every woman out there. Being banned is the best thing that could happen to your sanity. Take it easy.

AntiAbleism · 2019-04-06T03:28:29+00:00

Don’t argue with women and simps. Problem solved.
