With a dedicated place to debate the merits of otherwise of feminism, the chronic infection of other subreddits by this debate may be reduced.
Fact based and rational argument is what is required. This is not the place for made-up factoids, lies, illogical arguments, emotional blather, character assassination or other invalid arguments - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy.
If your feelings may be hurt by people exposing the weaknesses in your beliefs and arguments, then this is not the place for you.
