In all fairness, I was leaving them anyway because I no longer align with most of their views, but also being a multifaced and complex person, I don't take sides 100% because life is complicated and the wisdom is often in the gray. I like to keep an open mind so I kept them around. Recently, someone made a post linked to a woman who had been cheated on by a man I think, or otherwise abused. The title of the post was "On single men being lonely. a possible response." And she rightly stated that women were no longer putting up with abuse. Amen to that! I didn't have an issue with that. But the comments.... were so vicious and severe. Many of them just lacked even a pinch of empathy for men. Someone else similar to me posted about women not taking accountability at times for the parts that they play. 100s of downvotes. I agreed and said something akin to, "yes and women are the ones mostly raising boys, who are brought up to be emotionless and then these boys grow up and lack emotional intelligence, unlike girls who are trained to be in tune with their feelings and not called sissies for it." that post disappeared. Then in response to something that someone else, "90% of crimes would disappear if men were disappeared/banned/obselete (cant remember the word but along these lines)" and I said, VER BATIM, this attitude is extreme. Downvoted to high hell. Someone referred to me as having "a dump of a brain." Not once did I insult anyone. Go and see for yourselves!

While it may be true that men commit a majority of crime, no one is looking at the context behind that and that was my point. But before I could defend myself.... banned. I wish I could say that I was surprised. Im not. Im sad. No one wants to hear another opinion anymore. It's like everyone backs into their respective corners and spits at anyone who maybe holds a more complex view. I just wish we could hear each other out! I think any faction or group really should be careful about black and white thinking and not allowing discourse. I think its dangerous, even in this group where "no feminism" is allowed. I respect it but its like.... if discussion is moderated and civilized, why ban it? What happened to free speech and the ability to agree to disagree? We have lost that art and it hurts my heart. Anyway, just coming to vent a little.
