So wait, there are a significant number of all-women hate subreddits? Such that they need to make another subreddit to ban them? What are they hating? Why is it a problem? Is it that they dont let men take part in the hating too?
I don't know about reddit enough and just struggling to even guess the context here.

Reddit is extremely massive. With uber millions of people on it. And anyone can make a subreddit about anything. And they get extremely specific. Like someone might make one called r/FuckHNpedants for people who dislike all of the pedants on this site. And they post screenshots of our comments and mock us.
So clearly there are going to be people who make all sorts of random subreddits related to women. Lets say some guys didn't like women with freckles. They might make a subreddit showing pictures of women with freckles and bash them. And drill down a few more levels and go in all directions.
Then you have these other people who get triggered by that sort of content and demand it all be removed from Reddit. They make subreddits like that demanding it all be removed. Historically, they need to get featured in a bunch of media before Reddit does anything. They then ban a bunch of them and make a new rule.
It's subs that target hatred and violence towards women. Things like social stalking, rape confessions, non-consensual pornography, secretly cumming on their belongings etc.
