My new subreddit was banned.

submitted by teatii from self.GenderCritical

i tried to make a new sub, guys. i really did. it was /r/bywomenforwomen. it was banned. i didn't even mention gender critical on it. i just said it's: "a feminist subreddit to discuss WOMEN'S issues.

women = adult human female."

so, yeah, reddit hates women.

I feel like there need to be more covertly named subs created, that are automatically private (call it Clockmaking or something), and they are invitation only for established radfems. But, might as well make something away from reddit tbh, but then the draw of Reddit is the readership. I also hate that TRAs know what we're saying on public forums, so they know who to harass. Some aspects of this movement really, really need to go underground and strategize. This isn't the first time feminists were forced to meet in secret locations.

I think we've essentially have that setup with the discord communities

you're so right. we can regroup, with better users.

I am not surprised at all.

After all the censorship your feminist subs moderators have been doing on reddit, its nice to see some karma dished out.

Like what? They allowed trans women there for crying out loud.

You might be confusing r/GenderCritical with other "feminist" subs. I very rarely saw any banning there.

Unlike other "feminist" subs, it was one of the least toxic (i.e. no "educate yourself") communities.

Saying that "woman" is a physical reality is what got it banned—that's not karma, that's a double standard.

Lets face it, he was most likely unpleasant and obstructive - we all saw people being like that. I doubt he was merely banned for what he says here, the word disingenuous springs to mind.

libfem != radfem, babe.

If radfems controlled reddit the world would be a different place :)
