Yeah, I know of the 430 million users they get advertising off of, one person bailing isn't much, but I won't be someone such a misogynistic pornographic site can capitalize on.

THIS. Reddit stood by while mainstream media outlets called our women-centered forums "hate speech". I saw one screen shot on twitter where reddit banned a sub with a name like "radical feminism" and there was a message "we recommend countries to prosecute radical feminists" (I'm paraphrasing here, but it's on twitter). What else do we need them to do in order to prove to us how much they hate women?

Honestly, leading up to this time I started to ask myself if I had an unhealthy fixation with checking reddit. Granted, there are a lot of useful subs on there, but it was eating into time I could have spent on more useful activities. That being said... all the effort I put into advising women to avoid the mistakes that I made in my 20s... much of it erased. It's just overwhelming. On top of that, I'd be afraid to keep an account with them considering how certain members micro-target women like us. The amount of hatred certain groups within the trans community and liberal men's communities have for us is unbelievable-- why subject myself to their hate?
