Traditionalists are on the path of most resistance.

Their Utopian ideal - big daddy gov. legislating a patriarchy with limited sexual freedoms and the trapping of men into the role of protectors and provides has very limited appeal.

Most of the problems that traditionailists point to can be fixed far more easily with a couple of ideas that actually preserve womens rights, and extend those of men - LCFM and the concept of consent to fatherhood.

Traditionalism = lose/lose

*Puts on his Scotty from Star Trek 11 costume*

Left wing: We are traveling at warp speed, how did you manage to beam aboard this subreddit?

Right wing: You're the genius you figure it out.

Left wing: As acting moderator of this subreddit I order you to answer the question.

Right wing: Well I'm not telling, acting moderator. ...What that doesn't frustrate you does it? My lack of cooperation...that doesn't make you angry...talking about men's issues from a traditionalist perspective...that doesn't make you angry...

Left wing: *Glances at jmnzz* Are you an ally of the Men's Rights Movement?

Me: *Hesitates* Wha...I...um *Glances at right wing then back at left wing* ...yes, can I get a towel please...

Left wing: Under penalty of...actually there's no real penalty, unless you are one of those SRS/AMR fucktards, but anyway I order you to explain to me how you were able to beam aboard this subreddit while moving at warp and tell me why I am being accused of censoring people who speak of men's rights issues from a traditionalist viewpoint.

Me: ... *Shrugs* Well...

Right wing: Don't answer him.

Left wing: You will ...answer me... *Glares*

Me: *Stares momentarily then squints eyes* ...I'd rather not take sides... *Weak smile*

Right wing: *Get's in left wing's face* What is it with you, Left wing, hmm? Your subreddit was just invaded by misandric trolls who sling racist, anti-white slurs with impunity, your original moderating partner left and...you're not even upset.

Left wing: If you are presuming that these experiences in any way impede my ability to moderate this subreddit you are mistaken. I have already explained that the new moderation policy is generally designed to lessen the impact these trolls will have.

Right wing: And yet you were the one who said that freedom of speech was necessary for moderating...I mean did, did you see that troll comment? Do you see what he said?

Left wing: *Voice softens* Yes of course I did.

Right wing: So are you going to stop banning right wingers and letting trolls stay or aren't you?

Left wing: I explained the reasoning behind banning that right winger and it had nothing to do with his political views. I will not allow you to lecture me about the ban-able levels of trolling.

Right wing: Then why don't you stop me?

Left wing: Step away from me Mr. Right wing.

Right wing: What is it like not to feel anger...or heartbreak...or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the good name of the moderator who gave birth to this subreddit?

Left wing: *Menacing voice* Back away from me...

Right wing: You feel nothing! ...It must not even compute for you! ...You NEVER ban actual trolls!!

Left wing: MUAAAAAA!!!! *Punch*

Me: *Watches the left and right clash* ....................I like this subreddit!!! ...It's so exciting :D.

Note: No I am not taking any sides. Sometimes I do random shit I think is funny. This was one of those times. Also, this random stuff I just typed would have been a lot funnier if Igna and AnnArchist were arguing about something....>_>....

An interesting quotation by ignatiusloyola from the "New Moderation Policy for r/MR" thread.

Issues are important, ideals less so.

I disagree. It is traditionalists who are advocating for bullshit political candidates that are helping to ruin this subreddit.
