Sometimes you disagree with someone, but the two of you do agree on a few basic premises. In that case it can be worthwhile and enlightening to have a good faith discussion about your differing views.

But sometimes you disagree with someone about the fundamental nature of the world. That's not a discussion worth having, and it will never lead anywhere. It's a like a creationist posting in a science forum -- the only goal is to poke and jab, not to have a real debate.

MRA's who post in this subreddit fall into the latter camp. They don't believe that women's inequality is a thing. If that's the case, if you reject the fundamental premises of feminism, then you have no business joining a conversation about feminism. Opponents of feminism don't argue in good faith. They derail potentially constructive threads, and they quite simply ruin the subreddit.

This isn't about free speech or open discussion. If I want to defend the right of feminism to exist, then I'll go dive into an anti-feminist subreddit and tell them how wrong they are. But I don't feel the need to debate feminism's right to exist; that's not the purpose of a feminism subreddit.

How about starting ONE THREAD where people can go to argue over whether patriarchy and privilege actually exist, and whether feminism is harming the world and/or oppressing men. And ban ALL DISCUSSION of those topics from every other thread?

Otherwise, they'll continue to shit up the subreddit and drive actual real discussion away.
