According to Twitter, feminist Meghan Murphy violated their rules against hateful conduct because she said men aren’t women.
We’re serious.
Stop laughing.
Apparently calling a man ‘a man’ and a woman ‘a woman’ is a big no-no on the social media giant. Murphy was less than impressed:
Basic facts are not allowed there, missy.
Famed Feminist Furious After Twitter Says She Violated Rules By Saying Men Are Not Women https://t.co/HTVI6jdExA

From The Daily Wire:
On Thursday, an ardent Canadian feminist who has supported the #MeToo movement but has opposed a bill that would encode gender identity and gender expression into Canadian law furiously revealed that Twitter wouldn’t let her say that men are not women.
Meghan Murphy, who founded the feminist blog and podcast Feminist Current in 2012, had tweeted in October, “Men aren’t women tho,” and “How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between men and transwomen?”
Murphy continued on a thread:
Raise HELL!
Trans activists have been targeting my account for a few months now. Either someone at Twitter or with an in at Twitter has been combing through old tweets and reporting them for 'hateful conduct'. Twitter seems to instantly shut my account down without a second thought.

That’s what happens when you don’t fall in line with Twitter Dogma.
Are you going to ban every single user on here who says 'men aren't women'?? Actually??? @Twitter Or are you just going out of your way to specifically silence ME?

Oh trust this editor, Twitter is more than happy to silence anyone who says something they don’t approve of. It’s their new thing.
