This is a good idea but I think you'd get more of a response if you emailed journalists from major publications as well as feminist ones. It's possible that someone will read one of these emails and try to create a story from it and the fallout from said story could affect reddit's funding and public perception negatively.

You are still fighting an uphill battle here because much of the mainstream internet sees the banning of GC and other similar subs as a "win" for women and conversely think they're the misogynistic subs and not the MRA ones. I would link all of the rape kink subs on the emails as well as MGTOW and other misogynist subs you could find. At the same time point out the banning of women spaces on reddit.

I apologize for the unsolicited advice but I think a news stories would do way better in the long run than having to laboriously email several dozen companies that may or may not advertise on reddit in the present.

Great advice. I think I'll be up late emailing tonight. I suspect almost no-one will give a shit, lefty publications hate us for not suspending reality that trans women are no different to women and righty publications hate anything that could be considered, "feminist". Though there is a journo at the Guardian that published a GC pice recently I might try her. Thanks!

Yes exactly, lefty publications are already on the tra train and I doubt any of them are going to care about GC getting banned. A potential solution might be to just focus on the misogynistic and women-hating subreddits as well as the borderline illegal kink ones. Also mention the banning of the women only subreddits but only as an afterthought and maybe don't mention GC so they don't trash the whole email. It sucks that you have to do this at all but unfortunately these publications can't go against the popular narrative.

That Guardian journalist sounds promising though, defiently mention the GC ban to her, it might go through. Good luck!
