r/Feminism is a feminist political subreddit discussing women's issues.[1][2] As of June 2020[update] it has 179,000 members.[3] The subreddit discusses issues that impact women and minorities, including workplace sexism and harassment, rape, abuse, pink tax, cultural appropriation, and representation. Users of r/feminism are similar to the users of r/menslib, a men's liberation subreddit; and r/againstmensrights, a subreddit against r/MensRights.[1] The subreddit sends people wanting to talk about men's issues to r/masculinism, which has been criticised as an essentialist view on feminism.[2] About 54% of posts on r/Feminism are predominantly negative.[4]
Research
In a survey of non–feminists in the subreddit in 2018, non–feminists said that they wanted to disrupt the community. Feminists in the subreddit have noted a level of anti–feminists in the comments. In the first quarter of 2020, about a thousand members were banned from the subreddit per month. Due to disruption, it can be difficult to differentiate good-faith and bad-faith, and feminists within the subreddit may feel uncomfortable voicing their opinions due to negative reactions by other feminists.[3]
A study of news reports of the People v. Turner on Reddit, comparing r/News, r/Feminism, and r/MensRights found that r/Feminism was the only subreddit to call Turner an "offender". r/Feminism was the only subreddit that linked to external webpages using the words "crime" or "rapist", indicating that r/feminism had a much stronger view on Turner than the other subreddits. 30% of the posts in r/feminism would reword news articles about the case, and 62.5% in r/MensRights. When comparing r/Feminism and r/MensRights, the feminist subreddit was likely to link to progressive websites, and r/MensRights were likely to link to conservative websites, meaning that both of the subreddits preferred sources which agreed with their beliefs.[5]
