Votes for Women is a board game about the women's suffrage movement in the late 19th and early 20th century USA. It's both a card-driven strategy game and an educational tool to teach players about the struggle to ratify the 19th Amendment, and it proved popular enough that the first edition sold out. Historical board game publisher Fort Circle is currently crowdfunding a second edition on Kickstarter, which it tried to advertise on Facebook. "Tried" being the important word.
As BoardGameWire reports, Facebook rejected Fort Circle's attempt to buy ads publicizing the Kickstarter with an automated response explaining it was because the ad "mentions politicians or is about sensitive social issues that could influence public opinion, how people vote and may impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation." This form response includes an option to request a review of the decision, which was also rejected.
