I am a right-wing feminist, so reddit has banned me on a number of fronts.

Never thought I would say this but a feminist is actually making sense, and a lot of what you are saying I can get on board with. I think it's a fairly common thing to believe in equal treatment of women, and especially with the MRA point you've made I have also noticed that instead of focusing on betterment of Men it focuses on why women are trash and while there are valid criticisms to be made of women especially with later waves of feminism, it's not ultimately constructive or men focused.

I honestly don't disagree with anything you say above, the problem nowadays comes from people who view feminism as explicitly "anti-men" which isn't unwarranted due to the prevailing voices instead of "pro woman" (which is a mirror reflection of the MRA problem). Thanks for the insightful comment.

Thanks, and it's nice to meet you. One tiny silver lining of the dystopian censorious world we are entering is that different marginalized speakers can sometimes find common ground. We all have a stake in free speech. Fifteen years ago, I never thought I'd find myself fighting side by side with far-right men. Now I am, and they're my friends.

It's important to be able to find common ground, and censorship takes that ability away.
