"Anyway, the frequent bannings remind me of women's sites - Jezebel, feministing.com, etc - where anyone who voices a view that doesn't coincide with the world view of the site admins is banned."
Apples to oranges. This is a forum, not a blog like Jezebel so the comparison doesn't hold. This forum is specifically designed for men of a certain mindset to confer without the complications of women or trolls coming in an hijacking threads, etc.
I would agree with this opinion if women, trolls or dissenting opinions were frequently banned on either the Roosh V blog or the Return of Kings site. But that's not the case. (In fact, as far as I can tell, all manosphere blogs allow anyone to comment -- check the Viva La Manosphere site or Elusive Wapiti for a rundown of such blogs.)
I see no problem with this forum being a "men's space" and an exclusive one at that. I'm sure there are countless women-only space on the Web where they don't want men's opinions, and I think they should have total freedom to do that if they want. So should this forum.
