Even if you used a different Reddit account (with no FDS posts), you'd still get banned, if you didn't follow their libfem narrative. These spaces are all about pandering to males, dumbing people/thought down to the lowest common denominator, and sublimating female dissent.

For the last few years I wondered why the feminism from my childhood had been warped into a male serving version and I gotta say, subs like that being run by men pushing an agenda both makes a lot of sense and really bums me out. I’m glad FDS is here to counter that garbage.

Suspicious-Leg-1407 · 2021-04-21T13:41:20+00:00

You got banned from an MRA sub. That's really what it is.

Why don't you start r /ask meninists sub under a new handle and ban all of the 300k members of MRA?

unbotheredshrew · 2021-04-21T13:54:25+00:00

I was banned from arr feminism for posting a Margaret Atwood quote.

The mods are men making sure things don't get too radical. Give them a little bit of feminisms. As a treat.

needsmoresilk · 2021-04-21T13:49:28+00:00

Reddit mods are men or male-pandering women. By default they hate women-centric feminism. Men, because they fear loss of control. The women because they will lose status in those men’s eyes.

Anyway, your advice was perfectly legitimate and healthy so ???

ceramicunicorn · 2021-04-21T13:39:40+00:00

It’s true. The main feminists board as well. Being FDS will have you banned within seconds of a comment. No matter that what “being on FDS” means is that you support a sub advocating for women’s interests...albeit in a way that means certain types of men will not benefit. But since when did male interests need to be prioritized, in a movement for women? It makes no sense, and it’s infuriating that a movement meant to be for women has been hijacked in the context of Reddit.

LynneStone · 2021-04-21T13:50:24+00:00

Wow this is insane.

To be honest, I came here because I kept reading stuff about how “toxic”’FDS is. I wanted to check it out ... just like in the past I’ve looks at incels and TRP.

And it just wasn’t? I definitely think the idea that “you teach people how to treat you” is true. Basically this whole sub is about women teaching men how they want to be treated. And cutting off those who won’t.

It’s like they want there to be a female equivalent of TRP or incels so they can be “fair” by excluding both. FDS just isn’t, but it’s brought up constantly on Reddit like “what about FDS?? It gets to exist because it’s women!” Um no, it exists because no one is here breaking the Reddit terms of service....

Ladyofblades · 2021-04-21T14:28:13+00:00

Most feminist subs are overrun with libfems.

DontAskTwice-A-Roni · 2021-04-21T15:51:22+00:00

Most of the mods on the majority of feminist subs are male, so they can’t stand that we’re the only place on Reddit that holds worthless males accountable and doesn’t tiptoe around them with language like “I know it’s not ALL men. There are LoTs of gOoD mEn oUt tHeRe”

That’s why they don’t let us participate anywhere else. These entitled micro scrotes hate that we don’t center them in our lives. And they’re afraid other women will be exposed to this message and realize how much sense we’re actually making.

ELI5>>> "You're the wrong kind of feminist that focuses on maintaining your boundaries instead of stretching them for patriarchal head pats. BANNNNNN"

Winter-Firefly · 2021-04-22T02:01:44+00:00

The male moderators of the 'feminism' subs are not interested in vetting to keep content feminist. They are vetting to make sure it doesn't become feminist. If any of the users share ideas of opinions that threaten male power, or are part of subs that do (like fds), they swiftly and fearfully ban you.

Can't have women developing class consciousness....nope.

BoredOfBeing · 2021-04-21T14:15:28+00:00

The top mod demmian is a male with a LOT of sympathy for MRAs. Hell ban every religious feminist because white men silencing women of color is totally what feminism is about

laurencetrishburn · 2021-04-21T13:53:38+00:00

I got banned from the sub too. For presenting a really common sense response. I guess the mods don't appreciate that on there

stillcantsee · 2021-04-21T15:07:03+00:00

They hate us for not being pickme doormats 🤭

Jaelismyhomegirl · 2021-04-22T00:31:27+00:00

Can’t have any actual feminists on Ask Feminists, now can we?

Yellowsunflowerlover · 2021-04-21T15:14:58+00:00

To be honest, that's sad as hell. Your advice was nice and truthful. It wasn't anything out of this world. It's something I'd say to anyone, man or woman. Or anything any decent person would say. I believe besides this particular sub, all subs are ran by men and since they can't be in our sub they take it out by banning us. So sad. Sorry we no longer want to be pickme's or controlled by what men want and neeeeeeeeeed.

WagonsIntenseSpeed · 2021-04-22T02:23:54+00:00

But they'll let men make posts about female privilege and how "men have it hard too!" Lmao you aren't missing out.

pretty_kill · 2021-04-21T14:14:12+00:00

ATM I only trust women only spaces for most of my internet dialogue. You still have to be wary of pickmes, but at least you won’t get gaslit by men. Some men are true allies but it’s hard to discern. I was trusting of Derrick Jaxn but then I got burned when he was a cheater, so now I’m just out. Even if they seem like allies, I’m still sus.

PinkPetalCdistbeauty · 2021-04-21T13:48:23+00:00

Oh......look, they hate women over there too! (just the Feminism sub, no biggie).

nothing998 · 2021-04-21T14:37:25+00:00

libfems doin their thing

FitResearcher5 · 2021-04-22T09:10:49+00:00

I saw this quote the other day “women are the only human beings on earth who aren’t allowed to centre themselves in their own liberation movement.” I think it’s really fitting here.

HengroenAndLlamrei · 2021-04-22T01:33:42+00:00

You advised them to be patient, focus on quality, and prioritize their own growth? You monster.

anywaysheresrational · 2021-04-21T15:01:25+00:00

Classic

snowwy28 · 2021-04-22T06:23:13+00:00

Ask feminist isnt really a feminist sub. Its crawling with cocascrotches who bash any female who disagrees with them. You'll never find a true femenist on that sub. They've all left.

Protoetype · 2021-04-21T14:40:18+00:00

The main issue libfems have with me both online and in the real world is that I'm critical of transsexual policies and the sex industry. They hate radical feminists.

faux_maux_ · 2021-04-22T17:13:29+00:00

The fact that you got banned from any sub for saying that wholesome advice actually gives me a shudder.

nonchalant77 · 2021-04-22T18:55:54+00:00

LOL same Mod that banned me! She added "scoot"

esthermaniii · 2021-04-22T20:27:48+00:00

Ah, typical libfem spaces. Sounds like an echo chamber
