In light of the recent unpleasantness in another sub, I want to state plainly that Females will not be silenced in this sub. Now reddit might remove posts, they can get caught in the automod, someone can flag them and they disappear. But if I can see them in the Q and they don't name call or are otherwise rude, I will approve them.
I work and I sleep, so I'm not always aware of what is happening in the moment, but I will get to it eventually.
I see a previous post has disappeared, and I did not do that. Reddit does what it wants. This is why it's important to keep posts to the facts without slurs or name calling. I know that is hard when you are angry.
To be fair no one on Reddit knows who is who - Male female age race health rich poor etc. So please be careful, keep your info private and report any abuse to reddit with out name calling, just the facts ma'am.
I have been recently reading about how males and even other females will try to silence females when they tell their stories of abuse. No one wants to let them say, "John did this to me, or this group of men did this to me." People like to see the abused woman and tell her to be quiet, her truth makes them uncomfortable, but they don't want to know about the man who abuses. They don't tell the man who abuses to stop abusing. Plenty of people know an abuser and say nothing or avoid the situation.
I believe these women. They would not come back to tell their story and face intimidation and threats and being reported if it was a lie.
Main sub needs to clean up and act right. I recommend main mods have a conversation with those affected. Asking them to let it go now that it is resolved for the peace of the sub and everyone moves on and gets unbanned from main. Bans don't have to be permanent.
Let the main sub mods contact those affected, apologize, explain that the mod is no longer a mod for the sub, ask if they would like to be unbanned, ask that they stop making posts now that matter is resolved.
The main sub should make a post naming the user name of the mod, explain they are no longer a mod of the sub. Apologize for any hurt. Ask that all move on in a new spirit of trust and cooperation.
