      I do not myself like /r/TwoXChromosomes, and I don’t think that it was a great idea to make it a default sub on Reddit back when that happened – IIRC the rationale was to try to improve Reddit’s appeal to women. But it’s…kind of a bitter, angry place, and I don’t think that that makes for a very good default experience for new users.

      However, I certainly think that people who want that environment should have access to it. I mean, people need to vent about stuff. So, hey, good to have it as an option for people.

        The way many women are treated, both currently and in the past, I don’t fucking blame them. I agree that it’s necessary for women to have a place for women to vent and seek support, and XX on Reddit provided one outlet for that.
