There's some censorship going on in the newly popular feminist subs and it needs to be openly addressed.

Also, with locking threads - I locked yours as you asked a direct question and were given a direct answer. I'm not sure what else could be added by other users, hence why I locked it.

If discourse has finished, I lock threads. If that isn't the etiquette here then our sub is going to get very clogged up, very quickly. It was an expedient method to keep the sub organized, not to censor.

But wouldn't it have also been well-organized if someone still had questions about what was being removed, and came to ask a follow-up?

If someone has questions about their circumstance then they can message us. We don't need to have an open thread for people to chime in. We respond to mod mail.

I have given my rationale for why I locked the thread. You don't have to agree with it, and you are entitled to feel however you want to feel about it, but it wasn't for censorship, it was literally moderation to keep the sub on topic and tidy as the query had been answered and completed.

Yes, that's understandable, and I know this is common policy on many subs. It does still leave me with a bit of an uneasy feeling, which I hope is understandable.

I would be very happy to have things turn out that censorship within the GC and radfem communities is transparent and a topic women can discuss and reach positive solutions for if it ever becomes an issue.

I understand and I wish I could do more to make both sides happy.

Unfortunately the only middle ground I can think of is a debate sub which I will be moderating assuming I make it first.

I'm not asking for a debate sub here. I'm asking for transparency regarding the censorship taking place in the GC sub for the benefit of any women who participate there.

I have already said this. I will spend some time putting together a FAQs which document basic concepts in radical feminism and outline the areas that won't be debated on the sub.
