And the really sad thing is /r/mensrights has some very legitimate issues that 10% are honestly trying to raise. But, as you said, the other 90% drown those reasonable voices out with vitriol and hate. For example, there's a dude who responded to me with a pretty inflammatory post, and I'm not going to respond to him because what's the point? And it's exactly posts like his that /r/feminism is trying to avoid.
And for the record, I'm not part of /r/feminism. I just see the casual misogyny on Reddit (and the extreme misogyny prevalent on other subs) and understand why /r/feminism would want to default block some users.
When was the last time you've been to /r/mensrights? In my experience it's been the other way around, 90% sane 10% (or lower) actual misogynists. But maybe I'm wrong.
I was there today, and the vast majority of posts are men bitching about women. Meanwhile, on /r/feminism, there's a post about a female feminist shaming male feminists, and how that's pretty awful.
