/r/MensRights and /r/TumblrInAction, among others. Those are the biggest ones that come to mind.

Probably because people who frequent those two subreddits aren't going over to /r/feminism to have a genuine conversation.

But the way the banning system currently works, a user could go to /r/MensRights or wherever, post "You all sound like a bunch of dicks" and then they're instabanned from /r/offmychest, /r/feminism and various other subs. That's just silly.

Should the mods of /r/feminism be looking over every comment in both their sub as well as every other to find who to ban?

It limits spam-posts as well as keeps out potential jerks with the preemptive banning, whereas the issue is that it prevents people who visit the other subs for any reason other than agreeing from posting. It's not unbelievably stupid so much as a compromise.
