> The rules, especially on reddit, are thus enforced as unequally. Misandry is more than enabled, it's boosted.

One of the subreddits claimed by this paper to be "misandric" was banned by Reddit. That's the opposite of boosting.

One exhibit does not make the rule.

It's part of a wider pattern. Reddit banned a whole load of radical feminist subs and refused to remove the extreme misogynist ones that promote sexual violence like r/DykeConversion and r/DegradingHoles.

I'm pretty sure i remember a bunch of misogynist ones that disappeared before the most recent IPO, there was some people talking about it, but I don't remember the names because its subreddits I don't go to.
