Luckily her account was reinstated, BUT the impact of this censorship is real and problematic. There is a concerted effort being made to push feminists off the interwebs, from YouTube to Reddit to other spaces for discourse. The censorship of feminist women goes as far back as the proliferation of male supremacy. Another feminist Youtuber, Karen Davis, was de-platformed a few weeks ago and had to fully move to SubStack due to censorship (@blackchickrocks). And those are just the women I’m aware of who have faced such corruption.

If you know of any other women who have been censored, PLEASE SHARE IT IN THE COMMENTS so we can learn more about these trends in online spaces. When feasible, send financial support to feminist scholars so they can continue their necessary work.

A society or person who squashes dissent can never be democratic. We are not a monolith. We don’t agree on everything. We don’t have all the same beliefs. Yet to create a functioning society means to encourage critique.
