So you think posts like this shouldn't be on HN, but comments like this should be? That's not the Hacker News I love.
What a useless comment.
If you actually read it, it's against over the top feminism.

How about some real criticism instead of just fear and anger at a woman expressing an opinion contrary to your own?

As a male feminist. I wouldn't even up vote this. She does point out why the article is stupid but I think most people would agree on that point already.

Did you actually read the post? It's an argument AGAINST the .net article that argues that all women are constantly subjected to sexism in this industry

You'd be surprised. A lot of people took the original post as gospel. Some because if they didn't, they'd be labelled against women. (It's a sort-of mob mentality.)

Taking feminism to be broadly the belief that women and men should have equal social, political and economic rights, I would be very upset if the site wasn't infested with feminists.

#10Interesting article, along with the comment on it.
As a man in the tech industry, I saw sexism quite a long time ago -- in that a coworker benefited from a pay lawsuit. But that was several decades ago.
I haven't seen much sexism in the industry since then, but it could be that my views are limited and the companies and teams I have worked on limited.
So this article felt good to see. Maybe what I think I've been seeing (or not seeing) is not far off the mark.
Related: could it be that after declining for decades that sexism in the population has gotten worse over time? What is with you people?
