NC for this post because it reveals my twitter account.

I've just had my Twitter account suspended for the following Tweet;

Because men are and always have been since day dot seen as more important and deserving of priority than women. That's why. #patriarchy

I honestly thought we were past this shit. Now even discussing patriarchy is getting us banned.

So depressing. I'm appealing obvs but dont hold much hope.

Social Media is a new phenomenon, but what we are seeing tends to show that particular platforms become dominated by one generation and/or demographic, exluding or alienating all others. They grow, peak, decline and eventually die like Friends Reunited, in classic product life cycle fashion.

Ah, I see.
It's because you inadvertently referred to a transwoman as "men".

It makes sense that they banned you.

(Not saying I agree, just that I am not surprised).

I was locked out of mine for putting UK government stats about male violence. Apparently that's unacceptable in our brave new world 🤷‍♀️

It was in response to that Dorothy Perkins incident, where a trans woman was asked to leave the changing rooms, complained and was given £100 voucher.

Someone commented something along the lines of 'why are our (females) feelings discounted in situations like this' (the ratio was about 100 comments from women asserting that they would like their changing rooms female only) and this was my response.

This seems like a massive over-reaction even if they do have a policy of pretending men have nothing to do with patriarchy. You haven't threatened anyone.you haven't encouraged violence or hate. It's quite carefully phrased.
What was the context?
