All: this article was flagged but we've turned the flags off because it contains significant new information. Threads about sexism have upticked in contentiousness lately—as has everything else, it seems—so would everyone please take care to follow these rules?

1. Please post civilly and substantively, or not at all;

2. If you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; otherwise please don't comment until you do.

Yes, there's redundancy there; we appear to need it.

Why has this disappeared from the front page? I'm reading it, return to upvote, and its gone :(

Users flagged it. This is obviously a substantive article by HN standards so I've turned off flags.

Usually the answer given to the question "why is this article on the front page" is "because users upvoted it". Now it seems what users think does not matter.
