How is calling that propaganda misogynistic? Not everything that's against a woman is misogyny.

No, but saying "Diary of a Future President" must be propaganda for Michelle Obama does indeed smack of woman-phobia. "yikes, someone's giving girls the idea that they could be politically powerful. it's probably a secretive social manipulation cynically run by the most powerful woman I can think of off the top of my head."

Also, the only two people listed were Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton? All the powerful people in Washington that you could accuse of shadowy conspiracies to control the media, and they picked two women, and one of them is black (ooooh, I get it, the little girl in the TV show is cuban, so also a person of color?)? Considering the demographics of US politicians, yeah - that comes off a little prejudiced. But hey, maybe it's a huuuuge coincidence. /shrug.

Wait, Am I banned or the other person? I'm confused by the wording and context. You replied to me, but warned them in another comment.

Also I don't think I've ever been warned before.

I warned the other account rather than banning them because, even though they've broken the site guidelines badly on more than one previous occasion, we hadn't warned them before.

We've banned your account because you've broken the site guidelines badly on many occasions and because we've asked you more than once to stop.
