How the Feminist Censorship works.

This caught my eye:

We care about men as human doings, not as human beings. We care about him as an individual like I care about the individual parts of my car – I care about its problems only when it’s causing me problems. Or I care about prevention only when lack of prevention will cause me problems. Even when a man’s problems are affecting his ability to be a protector, we often refer to his problems from the perspective of the problems they create for a woman (he cheated on her; he got drunk and hit her). Which is why the other men who make the front pages are the villains who are causing us problems.

In brief, men’s lives count only to the degree they are heroes who perform for us or save us, or villains who disturb our peace. Women’s lives count more for their own sake…a woman’s pain is every talk show.

Great questions, based on Farrell's celebrated phrase, "lace curtain". The lace curtain has extended itself from publishing to academia to media to social media. MR needs a plan as well as the leadership to implement it.

Elsewhere on this sub-reddit, I have suggested some ideas:

Facebook and Twitter, though technically private, are now communications media reaching hundreds of millions, and so are now analogous to public fora ("the public square") with the associated ethical obligation to guarantee of free speech, neutral arbitration independent of content, etc. How to advance this idea?
The demise of politically-incorrect Fox News - or its conversion into another PC outlet - would be a disaster for MR regardless of our approval or disapproval of Fox's stance upon non-MR issues
The White House is the world's most powerful bully pulpit, and the rise to power there of a rabid feminist would also be a disaster, allowing the solidification of feminist governance not only by extensive administrative fiat but also by a large number of judicial appointments. MR needs to do its utmost to keep this from happening.

I was browsing through Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say in the library one time. There are endless gems in that book. I often highlight important passages in books that I own, and I just kept thinking that when I eventually get around to buying and reading Warren Farrell's books, they'll end up looking like colouring books once I've highlighted all the crucial excerpts.

How much is "most of the Internet"? If you're talking about Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, then no. Most of the Internet isn't being censored. Facebook is a platform on which private citizens communicate in closed groups. It is not designed for public discourse, and it is not censored by Facebook. If you post something on my wall that I don't like, I can remove your post without having to go through a moderation team (unlike Reddit).

Twitter is barely a platform to begin with. People who depend on Twitter for their social outreach are failing miserably at life.

News websites are curated and monitored by the people who run the websites, and are censored to varying degrees based on what they want (which applies to Feminist and various non/anti-Feminist ideologies, as well as political bias and religious views).

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about this, aside from creating open spaces where people can speak freely without being censored. Apart from that, avenues like Reddit, YouTube and Blogger appear not to have any direct censorship bias.

"But <enter subreddit name here> censors and bans people all the time!"

Yes, we all know about Demmian. But for every subreddit with strict rules and Stalinist moderators, there are a dozen with the same topic that do not have such administration issues.

All in all, I'd say there's nothing to be done that isn't already done regularly.
