Reddit is a "social news" website, which centres around links posted by users and commentary on those links. It also features "subreddits" on more specific topics. (named like "r/geekfeminists" or "rGeekfeminists") It is noted to skew male (with the most popular women-oriented spaces on the site being moderated almost exclusively by men, including antifeminist men) and frequently has sexist and misogynistic content (e.g. Men's Rights Activists).
