It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

THANK. YOU. You put it more succinctly where I struggle to.
Right now most even-keeled folks can agree we’re all very upset, but it’s the same with trying to start a union and march up to the boss’s office: Oh sure, everybody enjoys a good grumble in the breakroom but are they gonna back you up? Worse, are they gonna rat you out?
Whether out of ignorance, desperation, hopelessness, or all three, we have a large proportion of people that just wanna “keep their head down.” and “stay out of trouble.” Even if it means suffering.
Our culture is also pathetically fractured sometimes. Once we get over the “should we do something” hurdle, the question becomes what, who, and how. And everybody’s seemingly got a morally-superior position to everyone else, and budging is not an option. Unfortunately while we’re all scoring zings on each other, organizing and running roughshod over everyone else comes much more easily for those with an authoritarian bent.
