There are a lot of misandrist "men are trash" posters on Twitter that haven't been banned: https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/menaretrash?lang=en

Unless they're equally blasé about "women are trash" posters, seems their enforcement against sexism is only one sided?

I don’t work for twitter so I can’t speak for them. Trump is still on twitter saying all kinds of horrible things, and I can only presume many others are as well. I’m not sure what triggers crossing a line, but I don’t agree with this accusation of some great anti-conservative conspiracy. I see this often in reaction to Alex Jones who spreads all kinds of false lies that have lead to violence.

Note it’s not like there are humans evaluating each and every tweet so it’s going to be inconsistency applied.

I also find it interesting that since posting on HN someone is trying to reset my Facebook account. Talk about censorship...
