Do you have a good reason for locking my thread?

[Regrell]

I was polite, I deleted a certain word per request of group member, I was on topic.

I somehow don't have enough posts to ask you in PM, boston bean, so asking you here.

1. I have no

clue why the host did.

Let me explain something. This is a protected group for feminists. Which means you can not post anything you want.

here is the SOP

I had asked and explained why the word you used should be changed. There was ample enough time to do so. When I saw that you refused to do so, I alerted.

8. I changed the word.

Even though it was NOT used in a context to slander women. It was meant to underscore the shared experiences of people who trade on their physical and mental health to pay the bills.

2. did you have a good reason for posting it?

[Regrell]

9. Read it and let me know what you think.

Obviously I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't have a "good reason" (to find some common ground in feminism with men who are victims of trading their bodies for a wage).

3. Ok, gotta know

what was the word? Can you PM me or is "the word" in the SOP. I can see I'd like this group - I've been through this rodeo many times.

7. I used the word "whore" to apply to the kind of grinding, dehumanizing sale of one's body.

I applied it both to women who have no better options to selling their bodies sexually, to men in physical jobs that grind their joints down, to anyone who has worked a double shift in a factory or restaurant on their feet...etc...

4. Might I suggest a PM to the host?

I for one thought you suggested some interesting ideas about gender and class that could make for good discussion. I can see how the host might have had concerns about the way you expressed them though.

5. Agree. nt

6. Tried, and got a message my post count was too low.

Not sure how many you need for PMs?

10. I think it is 50

I forgot about that.
