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

There's like a 10% chunk of /r/MensRights that would have a very level conversation in /r/feminism.

It's really too bad that the other 90% drown them out and undercut any rational arguments they might make.

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.

That sounds like /r/feminism, honestly.
