There is a disturbing trend in effect in the media and across the Internet. Many forms of men’s speech which advocate for male points of view and provide hundreds of thousands of men a forum to discuss relationships, dating, divorce, women, etc. are being outright banned online. These groups include Reddit’s “The Red Pill” and the banning of Roosh V’s sale of “Game” online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This practice is outright unconstitutional and illegal. (not to mention morally reprehensible).

If it wasn’t enough that men are being subject to Stalin-like purges at workplaces, imprisoned for false or exaggerated claims of abuse, or being shamed online in millions of articles which denigrate men and blame all of society’s problems on so-called “toxic masculinity”, radical feminists and their media partners are now outright banning and eliminating first amendment rights which simply discuss male issues. This is being done to oppress and conform men to radical feminists politics that they simply do not agree with.

How are they doing this? Well in the case of the banning of The Red Pill Reddit site, the administrators of the site claim that the site promotes misogyny and violates their content policies. Similarly, when Amazon and Barnes & Noble banned Roosh V’s books, they did so under the pretense of content policies. Never mind the fact that Reddit carries hundreds of sites that aim hatred and ridicule at men, promote the idea that all men are rapists and otherwise disparage “white men”, etc. Similarly, Amazon and Barnes and Noble carry thousands of female guides to dating rich men, manipulating men and as well as books such as the “Anarchists Cookbook” and Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”. It goes without saying that there is tons of content online that may offend different groups of people. But that is the point of free speech and democratic societies – allow all points of view a voice and opportunity to be heard.

This practice of “banning male speech” is despicable as it is illegal. At a minimum, the practice violates civil rights and laws such as the Unruh Act, which states:

Unruh Civil Rights Act.

(b) All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are free and equal, and no matter what their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services in all business establishments of every kind whatsoever.

And people are fighting back and using these laws to stop this censorship. Recently, Alex Jones who airs a conservative talk show on television was banned by using Pay Pay to promote his services. His lawyers have sued PayPal under civil rights laws, claiming:

“PayPal discriminated against Plaintiff based on its political viewpoints and politically conservative affiliation, thus violating the California Unruh Civil Rights Act. PayPal is engaged in unfair business practices by enforcing its contractual terms in an unconscionable manner, namely arbitrarily banning Plaintiff from its platform for off-platform speech despite never claiming it might ban users for off-platform activity. In doing so, it also violated the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing with Plaintiff.”

The full lawsuit can be found here. Similarly, the banning of the The Red Pill or books from Roosh V on Internet sites that provide a forum for access to and promotion of speech are subject to the Unruh Act and other laws which govern sex discrimination and free speech. Courts have already ruled that commerce is a form of speech. (which is why pornography and sex clubs enjoy legal protections). This is also why you can find all sorts of offensive content in books, magazines, and online, because democratic societies and institutions do not ban free speech.

Why this issue is more important than ever. In today’s digital world, sites such as Google, Amazon, Reddit, etc. are central forums where millions of people access news, articles, books and blogs. There are already very few Internet sites on the web that are solely dedicated to providing a voice for men and advocating for men’s rights and points of view.

By eliminating or quarantining these sites, labeling them hate speech or rape apologists large corporations and their political affiliates advocating these agendas are engaging in a dangerous denigration of free speech and promoting one set of values over another. Is this the United States of America or a communist country? China and the Soviet Union routinely censor sites and speech on the Internet. This is now becoming a mainstream practice in the USA. And it is even more dangerous and insidious because sites like Google, Amazon, PayPal and Reddit that millions of Americans depend on for news, information and commerce are engaging in this illegal practice.

If you are outraged by this practice, and you should be, please share this article with your social networks and send a complaint to corporations that engage in this practice citing the Unruh Act.
