Why I'm Not A "Feminist"

[Revoltingest]

Well, now that we're on this topic, would it be better if we separated the men's issues forum and the feminist forum into Private forums that can only be accessed by those who identify, and where nobody else can even see what the others are discussing?

That seems a poor solution, since I'd be prohibited from posting in either forum. (It's all about me,
ya know.) The purpose of a green forum was to allow anyone to post, but things would be kept civil.
It seems that being green does not function as I thought it would, since rancor & derailment are as
rife as the uncolored threads.

That's up to staff to decide. Not you. You can report, but it isn't up to you, Apex. It takes 3 moderators to come to consensus, but of course this is all spelled out in the Rules and Regulations and ToS.

It does not take a genius to see that there is a massive amount of critical posts in this thread that were blatant rule violations. And I know how the moderation works. I have been on staff before. And that is still all completely besides my point. My point is that those critical of MRM issues could have the common decency to take their issues to separate threads in the appropriate forums. What would be wrong with that? Notice how people have been respecting the purple feminist forum. Why can the same not be done for the green one?

LOL

Should we keep an eye out in case you start taking offers to be a mole or a double agent?

If I was, you'd never find out because it would all be clandestine. I tend to be sly about my eavesdropping.

Rebuttals are criticisms now?

 

[Revoltingest]

I would just join both, then.

I'd expect many people to identify as both.
.....and many of us to identify as neither.

Or everyone critical of MRM issues could have just followed the rules in the first place when it came to posting in a green forum. Why could that not have been done?

The Men's Issues subforum was never meant as a strictly MRM subforum.

They're usually the same thing aren't they?

Then replace MRM in my post with Men's Issues. That still does not address the tone of the posts.

But if lots of people say that they don't like feminism for similar reasons, maybe it isn't a straw man argument.

No, it's still a straw man, one that's circulated among people who buy into it.

I wonder how many of them are actually familiar with feminist theories and activists?
