Same reason womens magazines are more popular than mens magazines and womens subreddits and websites are more popular than mens.Maybe one day we'll have full equality and it'll be weird to think of "women's spaces" as something that's necessary. But it's very much so today.
reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It's a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it's not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.The fediverse could really use that energy.
