its pointless to bikeshed this. People did the same to defend TD and other crazy communities. Most of the posts are fine, but occasionally blatant sexism will make the front page and mods don't do anything about it, or even encourage it by putting the post in "real believer" mode where opposing viewpoints can't exist. Same as TD.

Best example I've seen https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/hzis4w/a_n...

"A message to all men" . Basically telling "all men" their opinions aren't valued or wanted on the sub. Wonderful. And it hit the Reddit front page. Imagine a "mancave" sub on Reddit with mods saying women's opinions don't matter and aren't welcome here and shit like that. It would be banned immediately, probably after making 5 o'clock news

That's...literally not what that message says, "basically" or otherwise.

It literally says the opposite, in fact

> Men, I have a request: Please, think twice before you reply to a post that you can't relate to. I'm not asking you to leave this sub, because I think that it's valuable to read about other people's experiences to learn about their unique challenges in this world.
