    “Stop being political!” say the people running the manufactured hate machine.

    Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.

        It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?

          Honestly, I think the dark web is a safer concept than X or Meta. The legitimacy of society’s most powerful people is far more insidious than backstreet markets and courtesans: they don’t make laws or support evil institutions across entire nations, nor able to leverage them as a club.

          The ordinary pickpocket just wants money. A wealthy elite considers other humans to be decorative, to be used and disposed of.

      This is the problem with social media. Outrage drives clicks, so “feminism” is portrayed as a caricature of brightly died hair, “ugly” women, feeble men, and the stereotype of unemployed art students.

      It’s exactly what we were warned about in books like 1984 and animal farm. The media controls thoughts, who controls the media?

        Nah. It’s more that feminism started as equal rights, which everyone agrees with. But now it’s a hostile movement that doesn’t respect men and masculinity at all. Anyone can see that but they think it’s OK. Who needs masculinity anymore right? :)

          Feminism is not single coherent ideology with a linear development. It’s a movement with numerous offshoots who disagree vehemently with each other. There are anti-trans feminists, and there are feminists that are indeed hostile towards men.

          The vast majority of feminists I’ve encountered in my actual life - not online - just want rights for women in a world in which the global majority are still denied basic autonomy.

            I think its different in different countries too, so this topic will definently divide people. Depending on where your country is on the feminism scale, it may just have started fighting for equal rights, or it may have gone way too far in the female direction, and started attacking masculinity and pushing down men for doing ordinary masculine things like watching a woman or talking to a woman.

            Women don’t stop wanting more control over men’s behavior once they have equal rights. It becomes about controlling men’s behavior so it suits the woman. Things like thinking guys are creeps for watching a woman (unless he is attractive, then its fine). The woman decides if he is attractive and therefore if he is a creep or not.

    As if they are going to check every ad.

    They never did and never will.

    So go ahead and order as many feminist ads as you want.
