[Occupymendocino] Join me?

Hi, 

A Mansplaining Conference promises to "make women great again" by having men
teach them how to be admired by men, get fit, have "unlimited babies" and
reject "unhealthy militant feminism." Really.

It sounds like a joke, right? But the scary thing is that the conference
organizers are 100% serious. The conference was started by a man who
identifies as a leader of the "Manosphere," a collection of ultra-sexist
blogs and social media platforms often associated with the alt-right.

The Manosphere claims that the world is biased against men and spreads
misogynist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and fat-shaming
messages, using Reddit as its online home base.

Some of these men even believe that women want to be raped. And that
survivors of domestic violence belong in prison. Disgusting.

Reddit has shown that it will listen to complaints about sexist and violent
pages on its site. It already placed content warnings on some of the most
vile Manosphere pages in response to a public outcry. It even shut down one
men's rights group for inciting violence against women after a petition and
negative publicity.

With enough petition signatures from UltraViolet members and our allies, we
can force Reddit to shut down the sexist sites behind the Manosphere and
stop the spread of violent misogyny. Will you join me and sign the petition
too?
