The fundamental problem with Reddit, as with any other community that isn't inherently elitist, is that it allows women to participate.

For women to participate, the entire community has to be dumbed down to their level. The bar has to be lowered for their zero-effort approach. Then they systemically infect the whole thing with effeminacy: feelings become more important than facts, disagreements are inherently bad and everything has to end in friendly equivocating, merit is bad and being an ambitionless sponge becomes the community ideal.

4chan's anonymous posting ejects and excludes women because it's fundamentally meritocratic, at base. They can't leverage their social capital, and they sure as fuck aren't competent enough to compete normally for attention, so they either leave or slink into the background. As a result the discourse remains competitive, meritocratic, incisive, etc. People are willing to take risks and tear down what they think is bad.

As the weak inferior gender is banished, feelings are destroyed, and everything becomes great.
