Why is it only antifeminist questions that get moved?

That's a form of silencing.

    I believe that questions from both sides of the equation get moved around, but more anti/non-Fem questions are moved around because they are more direct, to-the-point, and unanswerable without accepting that a certain ideology isn't infallible. Therefore, moving them to obscure sections seems like a knee-jerk reflex.

    all I know is that im deeply concerned about the limitations being placed on freedom of expression on this site. I've given mature, non-offensive answers critical of radical feminism, and had my answers not only Flagged, but to add insult to injury I then also lose when I appeal the ridiculous fact that I was flagged in the first place. I don't red-flag anybody's opinion here, because im tolerant of opposing points of view.....so, personally, im starting to get deeply concerned. its bad enough when people red-flag comments they don't agree with, but when this is condoned and sanctioned by the oversight committee here, I kind of have to say, "hold on a minute, who exactly is ON this oversite committee,and is it equally represented, gender-wise?

    Both feminist and anti-feminist questions get removed.

    And some (of each) really should get removed, they are either trolling, are meant to fuel hatred, etc.

    But a lot of them are removed simply because other people find questioning their ideals is offensive.

    It's not - I have had questions moved so much lately, I have had to contact Yahoo Answers about it and I'm a feminist. It's anti-feminists doing this to me I'm sure. I have also had 15 reports in the last two days - and some have been restored because they were malicious. Worse one user here accused me of deleting my own questions! I when I said they were reported he didn't believe me because to him all women are likely liars - can't get more sexist than that!

    Despite the CEO having a non-feminist stance which feminists have railed against her for not having the same myopic opinion as theirs, the moderators of the GS board tend to be heavily pro-feminist biased especially on certain days of the week.

    FeMENists seek only to destroy men. They have no real power to do so and as such these woMEN must use what little power they have (that men gave them) and use it to try to control us. Yes, it is a form of silencing the feMENists use, but if the feMENists had it their way they'd kill 90% of men to silence us.

    It only appears that way because there are considerably more of them, many of them are just ranting about issues or offensive in some way.

    How do you know its only anti feminists questions that get moved. A whole lot of anti feminists do a whole lot of blocking and reporting. Feminists are far from the only underhanded people on GS.

    Because the feminists here have no reason to move pro-feminist questions.

    Perhaps those are the only ones that get reported.
