Why the stomping tho?? I really appreciate the sentiment and it is so cool and wholesome but I just know this will end up on some TERF wall of shame with 'stomp' circled in sharpie

Yeah, it's so wholesome to call for violence against women, shame we keep complaining about it so it makes them look bad.

Tenth Rule of Misogyny: The worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad.

Probably, all the real women have already deserted the sub and all that's left are 14-year-old incels into sissy porn. I'm not kidding.

Being a man, I'm sympathetic to some MRA points (there are some spheres of society where I think men really do have it harder). BUT: there is no way I think it's OK for an MRA to be a mod on a feminist sub or for a majority of the moderation team to be biological males. It is absolutely not OK to advocate for or even downplay violence against women ... on a feminist sub of all places. This shit should be obvious and it's tragic that we're even having to talk about.

I’m curious. What is the basis of the allegation that one of the mods is an MRA male? And is it a trans-identifying male?

Did you read the link? "The head moderator of that (and all the remaining liberal “feminist” subreddits) is a man called Demmian. He bans any talk about actual feminism. (And most of the other mods are male too.)"

While /r/feminism has hidden it's moderator list, user /u/Demmian frequently moderates using his main account, so it's easy to see that he is a)a mod of the sub, and b) where he stands on anything trans related.

As far as I'm concerned any feminist space that disallows any critical discussion of trans issues isn't very genuinely a feminist space.

I can now see that in the comments of the linked post but it wasn’t in the text of the OP that was linked to here.
