Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

In my experience, most discrimination is subtle. For 18 months, as the only female sysadmin on a team, I was routinely left off of important email chains, "forgotten" to be invited to critical meetings, not given access to important tools to perform my job, and asked to perform secretarial duties for my male counterparts. Any suggestions I made were met with "thanks for the input, but we are going in a different direction". Weeks later, one of the males would be praised for coming up with the same idea i had proposed earlier.
We have multiple trainings telling us how not to be overtly sexist. What they don't cover, is the common micro aggressions that are easily overlooked. Were my coworkers overworked? Yes. Do things get overlooked? Yes. Can you forget one person on a team of 5 for 18 months straight? No.
It sounds fairly similar to racism, tbh
I think a lot of the confusion in this thread comes from you saying this in a way that sounds like you don't know more and have for the first time made this connection. Down the thread, it's clear you know exactly what you're saying, and you seem annoyed that other users didn't recognize that in the first place.
Yeah, now that you point it out, it looks like the number user baited the other into that pointless argument. Makes an obvious statement and gets offended when they get an obvious reply and accuses them of sexism.
