Her comments are interesting, you should check out the mens liberation stuff. But that pedo comment was easily misconstrued, and she's been very defensive. She probably doesn't meet many people like feedum who have an interest in 'female spaces', 'historically accurate' females and are snarky, since those topics are generally politically anti-feminist.

I'm happy to ban people who break the rules too often, but I'd much prefer to have open discussion where everybody learns something or is entertained. The problem is finding the balance between toxicity and rule breaking versus the good stuff.
