The Biden Administration Introduced a New Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, and So Far, It Looks Promising
Last week, The Biden Administration announced their national action plan to end gender-based violence. The plan defines gender-based violence as “any harmful
Why was my comment about Joe Biden's inappropriately touching young girls (publicly, there is endless video evidence of it) removed by mods? It's 100% relevant to the topic - gender-based violence - groping and sexualising children is violence. Any mods care to explain? There was nothing wrong with my original comment.
The modlog is public, reasons are displayed there. A longer reply which links to content might have been left to stand. Even then, perhaps the best way to put that thought out into the world would be to relate it to the content of the article here or to simply post an article highlighting this kind of behavior as unacceptable. I personally think its important and frankly pretty cool to point out that public figures can be shitty people and should be held accountable for their actions. But I also think that in the immediate context of the previous president, Trump, that maybe we shouldn't be hyperfocused on this behavior when we put up with a lot worse in office and Trump wasn't exactly putting together action plans to make gender-based violence more difficult (in fact he was actively tearing down any gender based protection present in law and case precedent).
Regardless of what one thinks of Joe Biden and whether he inappropriately touches young girls (I have major ick factor about this dude on a huge number of issues including this one), it should not detract from the fact that what is being proposed here is not just fluff and could go a long way to protecting against gender based violence if it is put into practice.
It's sad that this needs to be spelled out but I thought it was quite clear from my comment that regardless of proposed policies put in place, the corruption of the officials putting those policies in place ensures that gender-based violence is not put to an end given that it's so embedded in the culture that the guy proposing it is openly and publicly able to do it himself. If you understood anything about DV you would understand that reading an article headline like that is inflammatory - and scoffworthy - we may as well be reading "Biden administration introduces plan to end racism, it looks promising". Try telling that to people of colour who suffer through it every day. There was nothing wrong with my comment and it's pretty abhorrent that you felt fit to remove it, let alone labelled it as inflammatory and meaningless, while the guy who responded with something actually reportable got nothing.
