"We badly need to raise our boys more like our girls" -- Gloria Steinem This is naive. Men's and women's brains do not process information in the same way: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sax-on-sex/202405/ai...

GP did say "any piece" :)
On the topic of the sibling reply to this. There are quite a few new accounts that immediately go on attack on a few topics and individuals. I don't suppose you have any numbers of the ratio of IP addresses to attack accounts?
Which ones are you thinking of? If you don't want to specify usernames here, emailing hn@ycombinator.com would be appreciated.

From your perspective it may reflexively seem that women carry zero responsibility for other people's actions in the example you give. Yet at the same time a woman most certainly has a responsibility to herself, her future self who would have to live with the trauma...the many types of trauma...for knowingly going to an environment expected to harbor severe threats from other people. As a counter to your position, im…
> From your perspective it may reflexively seem that women carry zero responsibility for other people's actions in the example you give Trying to put the focus on the victim's actions and not the criminal's actions is called, "blaming the victim" and it's not an appropriate attitude for people in law enforcement especially to have. And yet - these sorts of stories where reports are dismissed for various reasons (incl…
The context for my reasoned perspective is certainly there in my post. It's beyond the pale to suggest from it that I'm endorsing or otherwise promoting or supporting a rationale for police inaction and a low conviction rate for SA.
Look, there are reasons companies go through stringent interview processes and background checks for their new hires. There are reasons parents follow up on references for a baby sitter.

She started her activism spying on European progressive groups for the CIA. You take it for granted that she is the representative of the women of the world. Thus any critique of this woman the establishment foisted on us is misogynistic. We do not all take this for granted though.
we all know how passionate the hackernews community have always been about the integrity of european progressive activist groups, it's practically all anyone talks about on here
