GirlsAskGuys criticism - Gender double standard

[Unit1]

I don't know if the GAG team takes any criticism seriously but I just recently I found out a double standard supported by the GAG team.

Specifically I "simulated" my old self and asked a question, which got removed. However similar questions asked by the opposite sex did not get removed.

In other words this is OK

This is not

Instead of getting the help that I indirectly asked for I get this disappointment slapped at my account.

So why is it, that it is OK when women ask such questions (feel free to search "i hate men" just on the top bar and see for yourself) but not when I do the same?

With that being said, I do not see this website anymore as I once had before this event and lost a significant amount of respect for it.

I expect this warning type of a short mytake to be also removed and I would not be surprised. Point is, that I did spread the message, that this website - after all - is not so cool.

GAG team! Do take this into account or have fun running yet another gynocentric website while encouraging men to go to MGTOW-based websites to talk there about such topics.

To be honest, I really have no idea how the removal works, other than there are multiple people who do it. The only thing I've ever been involved with that was removed was some random blue anon telling me to kill myself, that he would take pleasure in torturing me for being female. I had honestly hoped it would stay, because it was quite an example of ludicrous stupidity.

If there are multiple people doing the same job, you're going to get variation in how rules are applied, simply by virtue of individual interpretation of each scenario. It's called inter-rater reliability, and even with super clear instructions etc, it's never ever 100%. This is why the jury system almost always shows a split.

It's possible that whoever removed your question did it for any number of reasons. And it's most likely possible that different people reviewed those two posts, and then it is more about the GAG team needing to work on consistency between their mods, than outright prejudice. If it was the same mod who let one slide and removed yours, then yes, that's a double standard.

I can certainly understand your frustration, and if anything, it goes to show that double standards and subjectivity do impact people at every level (including mods and admins). They're still people. Although this one was pointedly personal since it was yours, I hope you won't take it too far to the extreme. Not all of us would have removed it. And some would have removed both.

I hope you ha e found that some females are more easily able to discuss this type of topic than others. I've found that with males too, case in point, the one sending me death threats.

People are people, and they are weirdly messy in how their perceptions and preconceived attitudes shape their behavior. Sometimes without even being conscious of it.

Keep writing, keep talking, keep asking, and keep pointing it out when you see it.

A favorite quote of mine - "sunlight is the best disinfectant."

It means, shining light on things and making them known is the only way to address them.

Thank you for mho

Let 'em hate. The more they hate the more likely they won't date, won't marry and more importantly, won't ever breed and procreate. Double standards are annoying but it happens, what happens like what you made an example here of shows that there is much more bias and favoritism toward one gender. Perhaps there are more female moderators or admins, but whatever.

[ThisDudeHere]

I would hide both. Other than the other moderators and admins being hypocritical, the only other explanation that I have is that it was just missed somehow.

[BasicFlake]

Perhaps your male question was reported and the female one wasn't, hence it was overlooked. I don't know, just speculating. I haven't looked into this in any depth so I can't say that you're wrong.

[ScottSummers]

honestly both questions are kinda inappropriate, dont know why female version did not get removed
guess its ok to hate men

[alice55]

Maybe nobody reported her question ?
