Yep. Mindblowing because Reddit is US-based, and under US anti-discrimination law, women are a protected class (percentage of population has no bearing).

I really dislike over-litigation, but part of me would love to see Reddit Corp absolutely picked apart over this.

Women are a protected class but men aren't? That makes no sense.

How does that not make sense? Have you seen crime statistics?

NOOOO YOU CANT JUST QUOTE ACCURATE CRIME STATISTICS SWEETY

REPEAT AFTER ME: "BLACK LIVES MATTER!"

What do you mean by that ?

According to the criminal victimization data from the Bureau of justice statistics, men and women living in the US are (nearly) equally likely to be victim of a violent crime so I'd say that Wrang1er's comment is relevant.

Yes, victimised by other men

Men are too. Protected class on the basis of sex. Sex can be men or women.

Technically they are.

(the * referring to gender identity is being challenged through US HHS, HUD, etc. so take it with a grain of salt)
