Yes, this banwave was super misogynistic.

The biggest proof of this is that r/GenderCriticalGuys/ is still up and running.

I thought r/GenderCriticalGuys was set aside as its own space to keep women's voices in the center of attention. Not that men were forbidden from posting on GC, just that it would sometimes derail discussions.

Still, the guys in that group were pretty much saying the exact same things that got GC banned. Men aren't women, etc. I don't understand the double-standard.

Because TRAs didn't report them en masse - just the women.

This is it. I looked into what guidelines that defined who got banned and spez mentioned reporting as a factor. So even if the majority of the users don't care, the loud keyboard warriors influence them. https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/hi3oht/z/fwe83at

Tras never go against men. Why do you think trans identified males scream that men should suck their girldick, only women? They are terrified of men.

Oh, that was rhetorical... also the fact that r/GenderCynical is still up there gloating that the TERFs got knocked out—that kind of says it all.

r/mappositivity is still up too, promoting childrape

We didn't get knocked out... this is proof our movement is gaining power.

So we got kicked off a platform. Hell, most people I know haven't even heard of Reddit, I had to explain to someone this morning, "It's sort of like Facebook". It isn't really, but close enough for the purpose of my conversation.

I don't know if it's just the algorithm but most of the posts on my default saidit page are GC. Are we the most active sub on here?

They are like all bullies, they are cowards, they know women are powerless and are physically less stronger than them, yet they go after us. Again, they're cowards, they know that they would never get away with pulling this stuff on other men.

Cry-bullies is a good term for them.

Modeled after Eric Cartman from South Park -- the OG cry-bully!

Or they’re attracted to men.

FWIW there's rumor of another banwave coming on 7/1, r/GenderCriticalGuys and r/LGBdroptheT were concerned about it . . .

I feel like they left GCG up on purpose to piss GCer's off more. It feels like a power move by reddit admins.

I agree. It’s a big FU to women.

This is the same kind of shit that women dealt with in the days before the internet and social media. The difference is that now, male privilege is wearing a dress.

The power and control that men have never changed. Liberal feminists (including my former self) were blinded to the pretend acceptance that we thought that we had gained.

The women’s movement needs to rebirth and to not stop pushing back, no matter what.
