It would be nice if the people downvoting you would state who they were and why (It’s not me). I can think of two hypotheses:
A) There’s a cabal of feminists trying to suppress your view and you in particular
B) People in general have judged your comments in these threads of less quality
A) sounds unlikely (due to the sort of people who seem to frequent this site) but I will grant that it’s possible, and B) agrees with my own subjective judgment.
If you’ve lost karma on really old posts in unrelated topics then it would seem to be reasonable to conclude that one or two people are irrationally voting you down, however...
This recent 30+ point drop is almost all from the old threads, not the recent ones. I was up to ~300, then these recent −5s on recent threads took it down to ~265. After that, I took the 30 point hit on old threads over a short period.

That’s weird. Perhaps the system could be improved; there’s currently nothing to disincentivize this behavior.
One might hope the fact that it is clearly wrong to be enough. But I suppose one might hope for a pony as well.
