Why does TRP prevent non-subscribers from commenting, posting or voting?

I find it laughable that you make a post congratulating yourselves for a boost in subscribers whilst ignoring the fact that people HAVE to subscribe in order...

Your response:

Don't you think such a rule fuels a one-sided debate? When a group gets together on the internet and everyone is agreeing with each other it leads to irrational and extreme perspectives. Does that not concern you?

You are clearly being confrontational without any real cause which is simply to get a rise out of someone. If someone just responded, "Feck off you feminazi, women are here to service me and my penis only", you'd be straight off back to [insert sub here] to crow about what a great find you have! Let's be real, that's really why you're here.

But in the interests of intellectual debate, why don't you actually post a specific question with a distinct subject in mind instead of telling us all how we're terrible for "making sweeping generalizations" and what have you.

I've read the sidebar but it is too hypocritical to make any real sense to me?!

On that note, why don't you give me a summary of what you found in the sidebar, what you understand TRP actually represents and what the point of it is?

Thanks for your detailed response!

I would just like to comment that my username is merely an attempt to change the belief that feminism is anything more than equality between the genders (which I can't see many people disagreeing with as a positive thing, especially as 'gender' is a becoming a fairly obsolete term) I definitely expect the shorter-sighted members of your community to have a knee-jerk reaction to that. But that just shows a misunderstanding of feminism...

I do understand the reasoning behind making such a controversial sub private, but as I stated before I find it a bit hypocritical that you consider all members to have 'swallowed the red pill' and celebrate your numbers as some kind of validation of your beliefs.

Perhaps if you were a more open sub which allowed more dissenting views there would be fewer 'knee jerk reactions'. Perhaps you guys are wrong, is that something which you would genuinely consider? I have been wrong about many things in my life... I am not afraid to admit it and I think it's a healthy process to go through. This is why I find it disconcerting that red pill theories are held up as doctrine and any criticism is shot down or prevented from occurring in the first place. I'm sure you don't intend to come across as a cult but unfortunately that's the impression that I, and I'm sure many others, get.
