Preface: I sent this in response to a user whose post I removed. I gave my explanation, and received a message of thanks.

I'm making this because I've been removing a LOT of posts that have been focusing on women, and I hope the following makes enough of an impact on you, you valuable, courageous men who choose your own path to happiness in this life, to re-focus your attention and your posting efforts back onto your successes as men, and for the PROGRESS of the individual man, and not the women who ...well....who gives a fuck....

(u/supernumiphone I'll appeal to your judgement as to whether this announcement is warranted or not.)...

No worries.

You know, I was really surprised as fuck when I was accepted to moderate this sub.

I volunteered because I've seen the benefits of mgtow philosophy for men. The tremendously positive impacts it can give.

And none of it involved women at all really.

What I noticed was that in nearly every other "men" forum, the focus is just driven towards women, with mere smatterings of valuable information one would have to distill from the mass.

I really want to change that. I want men from divorcees, widowers, pick up artists and even the more benign sexually frustrated young incels, and young men who have been hurt or taken advantage of; to realize that the prime value of their lives is not what they can provide for someone else, but for how they can LIVE for themselves.

And as long as there is a focus on what women do/want/behave, that can't happen for them.

It may seem that I'm harsh in my interpretations of what is removed from the sub, and I can take that criticism because I am. Much, much more harsh than other mods. But every time I remove a post from a contributing member, or issue a temporary ban, I'm doing so with the hope that the recipient will use that moment not as one of punishment. But of clarity that will hopefully re-focus their attention on that which really matters: themselves, and their well being and thriving growth.

Apologies for the long response, I just had to get t hff at off my chest. I get many more "fuck you's" than "thank you's", and it means a lot to receive that, especially from someone whose post I removed. It makes me feel like my message and intent is being received and taken well.

Cheers.
