Thread moved to close to politics

Hey, political mods
Can someone please give me the lowdown on where the "Do men have fewer rights than women?" thread went? I was looking for it over in the close to politics subforum, but it seems to have vanished into thin air and I can't find it anywhere

Thanks in advance

It’s been moved somewhere where nobody can lay eyes on it.

It’s kind of funny, but since this morning, basically every single one of the mods over in the politics section has been hovering around being active, yet somehow nobody’s even touched a single thing in the food sub 🤷

They were too afraid to moderate a thread that could potentially spark a wildfire, so they just nuked it preemptively.
From what I can tell, it wasn't even that active—maybe ten posts total—and there wasn't any actual trouble.

Honestly, I can't even wrap my head around why they decided to pull her from the lineup in the first place.
We were just having a perfectly normal conversation, you know?

There was this one particular thread where everyone was busy stripping away every single myth until there was nothing left but the bare bones, but then, out of nowhere, it was just shut down one day without a single word of explanation. Guggenheim was really outdoing themselves 👍

Looks like the floor is officially open here

So, I’m thinking maybe the mods could just move my old posts over to that thread linked above if having duplicate topics is what's causing the headache

We have revisited the topic of male discrimination on several occasions, and every single time—without exception or debate—it inevitably devolves into ugly misogyny. Since these discussions consistently head in that direction despite there being valid points to argue, the moderators of the Politics forum have decided they simply don't want to deal with this type of content anymore. It stands to reason that this thread will likely end up in the trash heap for that very reason.

Now, unknown, I know you recently asked for my thoughts on starting a new thread over at ExxonMobil, and I gave you a tentative "go ahead." Is this that specific topic? If it is, then I am sorry, but looking at the title and the opening post, I can see exactly how this will transform into a disaster within a week or two. I find myself supporting the moderators' decision.

Look, if that's how it is, fine, but honestly? It feels pretty shady that we can't even have an open discussion about these kinds of issues. The thread was staying perfectly civil right up until they pulled the plug. There wasn't even a single fight breaking out.

I'll give you that—the headline is a bit much, maybe leaning into the clickbait side of things, so if that's what's bugging people, the mods should just swap it out.
I actually went out of my way to make sure the opening post was as neutral as possible, specifically to avoid the kind of drama you were calling me out on in your message.

I’d really appreciate it if the mods could take another look at this whole situation, especially since it’s starting to blow up in the news lately.
