I was once banned from a travel sub for suggesting to a 19 year old woman asking about safety in Egypt that it might not be the best place to travel by herself. I had been there myself and know women who have traveled Egypt on their own who also recommended against it.
My comment was seized upon by mods of the sub as:
1: Mansplaining (She didn't specifically ask for male opinions so I should shut up).
2: Racist Hate Speech (Because saying Egypt might not be perfectly safe - something I would also say about many cities in the USA - is somehow racist to Egyptians).
3: Sexist (Women can do anything that men can do and I was apparently suggesting otherwise).
I was summarily banned from that sub plus a bunch of other travel subs by the same few mods. I don't know what the answer is for moderation on Reddit but whatever they are doing right now is definitely not working.
