Because people who say they believe in science have a really hard time accepting the cognitive dissonance that arises when science contradicts their beliefs. Windows shutdown sound plays and they flag it.
Oh right, I forgot flagging is done by the community. Addendum: I can kinda understand it though. While research like this might be correct and is definitely important, it can make it sound like "all men" or "all women" think this way, to some extent, making those who are different feel invalid. (Maybe a bit of a personal topic but I'm currently thinking a lot about my gender and identity and stuff like this is kinda…

No, of course not. I'm not saying it's a good reaction but I can understand why some people might react like that to this topic.

> not worth welcoming diversity in tech.
