I'd argue that the author let men off the hook, considering that a major contributor to Reddit's initial success was a large community of pedophiles, misogynists, and incest apologists given a safe haven under the premise of free speech. For a long time, violentacrez, the mod of many of those communities, had celebrity status on Reddit and had close connections to the administrators of the time.
