fschmidt, the problem with expressing your views on the LS forum is that they tend to create a chilling effect on the women there. LS.com is a site for both male and female love-shys, and I think that effect is what caused Ramm to try and censor and shut down what you're saying. I don't necessarily agree with his decision, but he is an admin and it was his call. Personally I would have given you more air time but you did have a history with "hot button" topics like american women deserving to be raped and that does tend to drive people away more than attract them. Since LS.com and all dateless men forums are struggling, we need all the help we can get, and not just drive everyone away. Stuff like that has a huge chilling effect on membership and exposes us to ridicule online. It makes it hard to reach new guys who are dateless and desperate and trying to figure out what's going on.

You can't just tell the average guy who doesn't know any better to read Unwin and say the problem is feminism, etc. He won't believe it. Stuff like that has to be introduced gradually. Otherwise he'll just look elsewhere and wander off to places like incel support, which will do much more harm to him than "whining" and being a "loser" on love-shy.com. Love-shy.com's purpose is to limit the damage the mainstream societal views cause.
