Women have complained after being banned from Facebook because they posted "men are scum" or "men are the worst" in the wake of the #MeToo campaign.

Comedian Marcia Belsky was banned from the social media platform after sarcastically commenting "men are scum" under a friend's post.

The post from her friend, Nicole Silverberg, was detailing the sexist abuse she had received after writing a list of ways in which men can treat women better in the wake of the harassment scandal sweeping Hollywood, politics and the media.

After writing this, Ms Belsky was banned from posting on Facebook for 30 days.

It appears the social media network has banned multiple women for "hate speech" against men.

Kayla Avery, who is also a comedian, says she has been banned 10 separate times by the platform.
