I don't understand why my thread was deleted

[MadameKali]

I posted earlier thanking you lot for giving me the confidence to speak up against gender stuff.
It's been deleted because I broke guidelines but I don't understand what I said wrong. It's a bloody minefield, does anybody who saw my thread know what I did wrong?

@CiaoForNiao

What's wrong with Roz? Is it because she's always watching?

Yes 😳

Do NOT post a picture of Roz from monsters inc, i fell foul of that one. Which is a shame cos i like Roz

I remember that!

What has Roz done??? Completely missing the point of this thread!

Op I mainly lurk on these boards and read what is said usually much more eloquently than I can ever be and I am in awe of them for making this much more high profile than we were ever meant to know before it was much too late.

@CervixSampler

Did you state scientific facts? That's a crime you know I didn't see your thread so I don't know but in my experience I've had to push for an explanation which was that penis-havers would be/are upset. The penis is very delicate and thin-skinned you see and its sensibilities very easily offended.

😂

@RufustheBadgeringReindeer

i will pm you about some pitfalls to this board

Thats a good idea

Don’t post biscuits 😱

Or yawn or bless

Not keen on biology on this board…or facts

Erm what else….

Do MNHQ realise how completely bonkers this all is?

It is bonkers but I feel you vipers have more than risen to the challenge in finding creative ways to express what needs to be said. That said, the relief I experience at watching Magdalen Berns’ YouTube videos or a brief lurk on Ovarit, Datalounge or the Farms is akin to taking my hideous new sports bra off. The freedom is dizzying.

IKWYM Betty, the lack of gaslighting is stark.

Mentioning tinned spaghetti is also right out.

Eh?

What the fuck has spaghetti got to do with things?

Apparently you must not relate the alphabet lettered type of spaghetti to anything in an ironic way. Even if you happen to belong to the thing yourself and so feel entitled to be ironic and a bit cross about it to those who don't belong to the thing themselves but still want to police others about it.

Pre-MN, I belonged to a forum where self-deprecation was against the forum rules, in the small print. I'm not entirely sure anyone else had read the rules to know, tho'.

The shape of the spaghetti is probably relevant - and not the round or wormy stuff.

I remember the spaghetti!

Recipes that’s another one and honestly i know that in the past its been used as a weapon but on the odd occasion people have been accidentally side tracked and then vilified

@ArabellaScott

One has to be careful to be not too general.

One also must not be too specific.

This is a good summary!

Don't mention cults. Unless it's considering if feminism is a cult. That's tickety boo.

Forgot this one….we should make a permanent list

Do MNHQ realise how completely bonkers this all is?

Yes, and they don't care. I remember the shock of being deleted before (under a difference username) for posting something very innocuous. I really had thought MN were on the side of reason until then. But above all else we can't upset the poor menz feelz.

It seems crazy that on a site mainly frequented by women that women can't say certain things about men and women, perfectly factual things, without being deleted or banned.

I didn’t realise that we weren’t allowed to talk about Rox. That is so sad.

It's a total minefield. I'd read the guidelines and thought I was on the right side of the line. Thanks to everyone for the advice on avoiding a black mark.

It's bizarre to think that we're living in a time where we have to talk in code. Under his eye, indeed.

This is the one that always bugs me the most.

Along the same lines, some famous people can talk about themselves in public and can be eviscerated on AIBU, but famous people who talk about themselves in public with, shall we say, questionable ideas about things that impact women’s rights cannot be talked about here.

It’s ridiculous
