I see the text of my post has been removed:

"I want to make one thing clear, this isn't by any means me suggesting anyone go over there and downvote every 2x post or to post anything there to start drama over this...so please don't, it won't accomplish anything. I'm making a post here to let everyone know what kind of people are moderating over at 2x. I can understand being banned for not following their posting/commenting guidelines after being warned and not listening, which I freely admit, I may have posted "truth hurts" type of comments now and then and a few days ago must have crossed some sort of invisible line and made one of the mods see red. What I have a problem with is them dropping the Ban-Hammer without warning. Not even so much as a "we don't want to see those types of comments here again, this is your one and only warning". They don't even have the decency to explain why I was banned or respond to my messages asking why. I've noticed over the years they have become more feminist-minded. I thought it was just in the posts and comments...the disease that is feminism has creeped its way into moderation as well. Keep that in mind if you plan on making a non-pc comment over there. If you happen to say something that hits a little too close to home, they'll get butt-hurt and ban you without warning."

And this has what to do with men's rights? Everybody knows 2XC has a heavy handed and censorious moderation policy. Pointless to complain about it.

I (as well as many other regulars over here) used to participate -(one of my "flawless victories") regularly over on XX in a respectful manner. Most of the time it wasn't even directly gender related. Other times we simply kept "the opposition honest". I don't know why you were banned so I won't presume fault on their part nor yours. I am simply speaking from experience.

About 6 or 8 months ago there was a paradigm shift over on XX that made me stop even visiting. (this was after 1.5 years of participating). Every other day there would be a 500+ thread bashing men vicariously through some singular anecdotal incident. The structure was as follows. An XX member would make an anecdotal complaint about a man or BF in a general way, "Don't you hate it when". Which wouldn't be that bad. Then the comments section would simply be flooded by SRS and Feminist vitriol. Broad generalizations and misandric stereotypes ruled the day, any "keeping them honest" would get deleted or banned.

I unsubbed and stopped going.

XX now professes that gender politics shouldn't be discussed over there, but what they mean through action is that gender politics that are critical of feminism shouldn't be practiced over there.

Welcome to the internet. It's all the same, no matter where you go. Mod abuse is the norm, and sooner or later it happens to everyone. Assuming that's what really happened, of course. The fact that you're not telling us what kind of comment got you banned is suspicious...

Let's see if we can figure out why you might have been so unfairly banned.

Reddit isn't misogynistic...a handful of idiots on here are. There's a big difference.

I'd like to assume you're smart enough to know that difference. Then again, maybe there's a purpose to your will-full ignorance. What is it exactly that you're getting out of this...victim status by proxy?

If reddit is as bad as you say, then why are you and millions of others still here? Are we all misogynists, including you? After all, we are on a "misogynistic website" as you put it. I get it now, you just participate in the good parts of reddit, 2x and other such sub-reddits. Because of that, you're absolved of any association to the inherent misogyny of this website aren't you. If that's the case, why did Jim Hines not see it that way?

In this comment, you say, "reddit isn't mysogynistic" ... going into the women's space and telling them their concerns are completely incorrect. Can't imagine why women wouldn't appreciate you doing that. You know, just like how women go in MensRights all the time and tell men that there is no such thing as male gender discrimination? Those posts get upvoted, right? ...right? Then you accuse another commenter of having a victim complex, and say "If you don't like it, get out." I'm sure that went over well.

I've never seen a misogynist on here who wasn't simply a troll. Besides, the term misogynist gets thrown around so much around here its lost all meaning. 9 times out of 10, someone is called a misogynist because the other person didn't like what they said and it's used by feminists when they want to shut down a conversation/debate that isn't going in their favour.

"Feminists suck, amirite girls? ...wait, why are you downvoting me?"

Id prefer it if their voices were silenced.

And I'd prefer it if people like you were silenced...you don't always get what you want.

If you don't agree with someone, you both should just continually tell each other to shut up until somebody gives up. That's how mature people discuss things, right?

You're just jealous because no one is talking about how sexy your ass looks. Also, it goes both ways...in fact I have seen more women drool over the male olympians at my work which is about 60% or more female and maybe a few guys said anything about the women playing beach volleyball. They had to say it very quietly mind you so as not to offend any woman who feels they are not as attractive as the olympians.

"If you're a woman and I disagree with you, you must be ugly. Pretty girls agree with the boys."

Was the slim woman showing her breasts? If you had covered up your breasts then you might not have gotten so much negative attention. If you have your tits hanging out of your low cut top...it's to get attention. Don't say you do it for you unless you stare at your own chest the whole time. Women need to accept that putting yoir tits up for display will mean some people will be looking and cut the "oh no my boobs are clearly visible and people are looking...how dare they look and make snode comments".

http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/x6pk0/why_is_it_that_slim_women_can_wear_the_shortest/c5jr03t

An endowed woman wears a tank top on a hot night and gets stares and comments for displaying her large breasts, and complains that it's unfair that a smaller woman wearing less clothing didn't get as much negative attention. So you blame her for wearing the top in the first place and call her an attention whore.

Maybe, just MAYBE they're not the trolls... you are.
