The same can be said for anyone who's community revolves around a certain type of people though, lots of subs have been removed that have been predominately male but that doesn't mean they're trying to "erase men". I don't support Reddit and have hated it for a good couple of years but it's pretty ridiculous to assume that the site's trying to "erase women" when there are still plenty of subs that are predominately female. I don't disagree that Reddit has an agenda but I don't think trying to erase all women is one of them.

Can you agree that they are trying to erase a particular type of woman? or women that aren't buying into the narrative they want them adhering to?

I don't think they're being specifically targeted just for being women, the arguement that they were banned for not buying into the narrative would make more sense to me as opposed to, "they're banning us because we're female". I believe Reddit is removing a particular type of people in general.

r/GenderCritical was specifically the one place on Reddit where the fact that "sex is real" and "woman = adult human female" was openly promoted as a basis for understanding reality. If those facts can no longer be acknowledged on Reddit as simply and directly as that, then I don't think it's hyperbolic to call it "erasing women".

Yes, there were male-populated subreddits removed too. But I don't know of any that were specifically speaking to existence as a male in society and critiquing the law & culture around that. Maybe you know of some niche sub I'm unaware of, but r/GenderCritical was a flagship community.
