"Are there misogynists on reddit? I'm certain of it. Are there feminazis on reddit? Certainly. Do either of these populations make up even nearly an appreciable percentage of the site's population? Almost definitely not." It's not the percentage that counts - after all, what is an acceptable percentage of commenters who will tell you you should be raped? I don't know if there is a solution to this issue. Increasing verification and moderation leads to stilted, boring, stagnated communities (Facebook). Anonymous conversation with a large enough population will unavoidably attract anti-social individuals (4chan, Reddit, YouTube, Fox News, er, well, basically everywhere else that's popular). Are online communities just doomed to a short cycle and inevitable decline as they get more popular? (see: Eternal September). This is certainly the case with every community I've been a part of since I first got online about 20 years ago.
