This post got banned from !memes@lemmy.world for reason “Troll Posting” which is Very Disrespectful in my opinion. 😕
I mean this meme with full respect and love to my fellow community members and I was proud of the discussion and support it was creating.
EDIT: POST RESTORED YAY. (Thank you to the mods it turned out to be a misunderstanding.)
Important clarification/FAQ
I am not calling to coddle or excuse the behavior of bigoted men in any way!
I am calling to be kind and understanding to young men (often ages 10-20) who are very manipulable and succeptible to the massive anti feminist propaganda machine. Hope this clarifies that very important distinction. :)
Very good comments that express key points:
- Detailed summary of the situation if you're wondering what's going on
- The rhetorical value of the bear hypothetical and what this means for you
- One example of why the long-term rhetorical value of the hypothetical is poor, in the context of intersectionality
- What does disenfranchisement mean in this context?
- The importance of not asking women to tone down their expressions of fear and frustration
- "But why can't they just say it nicely?"
- The importance of participation in kindness toward young men, specifically outside the context of people speaking their experiences
I saw your post and don't think it should have been removed, let alone banned, but I don't think you did yourself any favours in the comments. You kept asserting it as fact that there is a huge problem with silencing SA survivors, and when asked to give evidence, the only thing you had was three comments in the same thread, where the one sexist guy was being downvoted and the multiple people correcting him were upvoted. Not good evidence of a systemic problem.
(Ironically, you now do have that evidence, in the form of your ban.)
Literally no. Entirely different post you are referencing, one that is still up in fact.
Many of the votes reversed after I made this post due to brigading. Careful, you are spreading a bit of misinformation here, dude. :)
Wow, rude. An honest mistake is not deceit.
Are you sure the one that got taken down wasn't just because you were being an arse to people for no reason, like you are here?
Anyway, I'm glad the one I saw did not get you removed or banned. As I said, it wouldn't have deserved that.
Sorry if this was an honest mistake I apologize. Edited my comment
I have gotten no shortage of personal insults for trying to be kind and fair over the past day so I hope you understand why I jumped to being defensive in this situation too.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope you have a good one ✌️
Peace, friend. ✌️
