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

GenderCritical was a sub for women who know that patriarchy exists. Who know that gender identity is bullshit. We will never be able to have productive discussions if we constantly keep having to "debate" men who come in and try to convince us that the very foundations of our beliefs are wrong. It'll go around it circles forever. There's no point to it. Personally I feel you should be able to comment but I don't believe anyone owes you debate.

Edit: whatever happened to "if you don't like something don't look at it"? Women don't constantly try to infiltrate male centric subs. This is something men on reddit do and it's fucking annoying.

It's not just men that have been excluded from GC. I'm a woman, and I've been excluded for reasons other than what you stated here. And it's not just that I'm excluded, it's that other women are prevented from seeing these other perspectives. All content that dissents on these topics is removed, but nobody is aware of what's being removed. It is made to appear like there is a consensus on the issues, when there isn't. And it's further problematic because the movement claims to be speaking for women, when it's preventing some women from even voicing their opinions, let alone expecting respectful consideration of their perspective.

I don't believe anyone owes you debate.

I can agree with this.

GC (and /s/Lesbians) can exist on SaidIt if it wants to exclude people based on sex, or viewpoint, or both, but in order to do this it needs to follow mod rule 4b as mentioned in OP.

I also find it troubling that a post specifically about discussing censorship on the sub was singled out as one that needed to be locked, especially right at the moment when the sub itself is fleeing censorship.

keep reporting to /u/magnora7 or /u/d3rr Mods can't just change the site rules to suit themselves, and the admins generally deal to misbehaving subs pretty well.
