How I got banned from /egalitarian/

I don't get this bit about "The law is feminist".
That law affords a higher protection to females than to males, disregarding the "equal protection" clause. there are others and there are unashamed attempts to browbeat Obama into establishing a dedicated cabinet-level position for women's issues.
As a feminist I tend to believe that all real feminists believe as I do
"no true Scotsman" vs. "it's not just the radicals".
And emotionally, what do we and our children need more than happy, involved fathers?
That is not the attitude of the judiciary.
How did this law get onto the books? There certainly are not enough women in high places for you to blame them.
There are more women voters than men voters, and as VAWA Joe has demonstrated, a man who is willing to sell out his sex in order to pander to women voters is more dangerous than a fair minded female elected official.
I am not without sympathy for Biden. His own testimony is that his sister used to beat him up while hiding behind the "no can hit girlz" rule. But the man is dangerous, for his lack of spine and his rush to kowtow to any initiative that eases the lives of women, without regard to the harm caused to men and to society at large.
When you look at some of the other horrors that get through...
you ain't seen nothin' yet.
- I intended to link rafaelmadeira's submission about the Ledbetter Act behind "you ain't seen nothin yet." and that's when I discovered I was banned.

dryice refused to provide links to the comments that were, as he put it, "against the spirit of equality for all."

It looks like what you did was cross posted a few articles from two or 3 sites to a bunch of different reddits as fast as you could.

Or rather, faced with people you disagree with, instead of trying to have a discussion with them, you ran through a bunch of rooms full of people you disagree with screaming at the top of your lungs, and then acted indignant when they told you to leave.
You're the raving lunatic on a streetcorner who scares the hell out of everyone regardless of what they are raving about, and in the process who makes the job of rational people who agree with him that much harder.
Thanks for that.

I'm not out to win a personality contest. I speak as I feel and don't hide my agenda. I may have judged wrong, but I figured Saturday afternoon to be a time of higher ("bored") traffic and lower amounts of news.
I point out injustices done to men.
I made 7 posts to e. in 2 hours.

No, really. Its not your issues that are the problem, its your methods.
There are injustices done towards men. Fixing them requires winning the hearts and minds of people. Screaming at them and flooding their forums as fast as you can as many ways as you can is not constructive. It just solidifies their belief you are a raving lunatic and steels their minds against facing the problems.

I'm still not aware of my ability to scream over a text message.
Again, I made 7 posts to e. in 2 hours. There are lower traffic forums, but I was not cautioned about post volume or frequency. In fact, I had just gotten a short thank you note for a post and had just been defended in a called hit in the reddit.

That you "we're not cautioned" about post volume is irrelevant, and demonstrative of victim mentality. Insisting that your failures are instead the failure of some authority to spell out all the rules for you. Take responsibility for your actions.
Its basic common courtesy not to scream at people. Its basic common courtesy not to spam forums. You can't control what other people do, but you can control how you act.
That you got a thank you note from someone doesn't make you a hero. You got through to someone, maybe, good job. You probably alienated another 100 potential allies from the cause in the process. You could have won that one guy with a few, clear rational posts.
Mens Rights IS a political issue. Politics IS a popularity contest. Nothing is won by intentionally antagonizing off potential allies just to show off for the zealots at the fringes.

I posted a call for a boycott of a sexist film.
posted a reporting agency where you could complain about sexism in the media.
noted opposing views on hate speech
noted discrepancy in health funding, custody law, and provided a clear case of sexual discrimination in sentencing following near adult / child sexual encounters
posted on sexism in cartoons and music
passed some comments from a feminist realizing that sexism against men exists.
and dissented with feminist laws
I've been banned from 4 subreddits now, slandered on blogs outside of Reddit, and I keep talking.
people recognize that I have something valuable to say
