(serious/naïve question) Why does MR related content consistently get censored from the larger subreddits?

MR touches on a fundamental human instinct: that the young need nurture and protection. It's particularly important for our species because the helpless, vulnerable phase in children lasts for so long.

The basic division of labor was that women birthed and brought up the children and the men did everything else. Resources were transferred to women and children by default; in dangerous circumstance, they were protected and the men got to deal with it.

Everyone has this attitude as an inborn instinct. Men aspire to it; women take it as a birthright; neither sex has to think about it to know what to do.

So, any suggestion that men are less than effective conflicts with this ideal and is rejected by both the men -their ego is involved - and by the women - their safety is involved. And it needs no thought, it's unconscious, automatic, and always there.

The problem is that, these days, this is no longer optimal. "When in doubt, give it to the ladies and the men can look after themselves" fails in a society as complicated as ours has become. For example, this instinctive attitude applied to education has resulted in girls being selectively over-educated, disadvantaging not only boys - "they can look after themselves" - but handicapping the productive capacity of society as a whole. The fact that this also includes women is too indirect for the instinct to "see"; it's a step too far.

Basically, MRAs see this, but the censors don't.

Because feminists have infiltrated every nook and cranny of the net pushing their censorious ideology.

There are three answers which are all correct to a degree. First and foremost it's just not politically correct to be even remotely associated with the MRM. You're basically the KKK of today's world. You hate women, you're a failure at life, you eat kittens, etc. So even most non feminists don't see is in a good light. Second and probably more importantly is that MRA's tend to have a bad habit of flooding subreddits they don't tend to frequent because someone mentioned that a relevant topic was brought up. It's not really the same as brigadding imo, at least not intentionally. It's more like being overzealous or excited. We see people talking about issues that are important to us and want to give them all the important info so we rush over there and it ends up looking like a raid from an outsider perspective. And then of course the feminists will either be there or will have followed us in and it causes a shitstorm. Most popular subreddits don't want to deal with it so they just ban us/our content. Of course there are also feminist spheres. That one should be self explanatory.

Feminists love censorship, mostly.

Reddit actively seeks to repress MensRights issues because it doesn't fit neatly into the social narrative. Any evolution in human thought/consciousness will invariable be met with the same suppression/resistance.

Either it doesn't fit their narrative, or they have the wrong idea about MR altogether.

We're at-odds with a lot of ideologies.

MaestroLogical · 2014-04-22T07:49:04+00:00

Conditioning. Multiple generations have now been overly conditioned to see and respond to anything regarding feminism as being Holy. Anything painting feminism in a negative light, activates the 'damsel in distress' gene and demands immediate action be taken. This is why facts and peer reviewed work can be so easily dismissed. They literally can't see it, past the conditioned response of 'Destroy the Threat'.

It's brainwashing 101.

Same reason people ignore TRP.

/r/videos specifically forbids political content. That does include Men's rights.

"Because [we're] so fucking good. That ain't no shit, neither."
