Majority of Reddit Users

As a person whom has never used reddit myself and do to plan on using, I found it interesting to hear that the majority of Reddit users are male. I believe that the video "The Culture of Reddit" states that about 71% of reddit users are male. Why would a website that is so large and based on human curiosity be mostly used by one gender, especially when the world consist of 51% women. The video then discusses it's user bases treatment of women online. According to the video, in many cases, a picture including a woman will turn into a seemingly slandering fest in which users (men) make extremely immature sexual jokes and statements that they would never say to a woman in real life. People whom then condemn these certain people making this atrocious comments are then given the argument that its free speech and that these people can say what they want. To me it seems like reddit is a double edged sword in which is an amazing platform for people to learn and interact from each other, yet its a place where people almost harass other women. Perhaps this is why mostly men use this platform, women just do not want to deal with the stupidity. It seems to me that many people use reddit as a informational tool and others use it purely for entertainment. I suppose that Reddit could try to enforce rules, but then it wouldn't be the open ended, casual website that it is today.
