I wonder if an article called "Hacking my Penis" would ever last long the HN front page.

This is a sexist remark. It all depend on the content of the article. Did you take time to read the article? It's just great - full of technical details, including the reasoning behind the creation of the hack. Many times I've seen dumb things in the front page - complex pointless hacks (I remember one about locales and printf which advocated a libc recompile while I suggested a perl oneliner). This is a genuinely in…

I think there might be a misunderstanding here, just want to make sure you guys are on the same page (as I am perceiving it).

I don't think he is saying it shouldn't make it on HN, if anything he's speculating as to whether or not it would be on the #1 spot if it were a male sex hack instead..

Apparently that word is automatically deleted from titles. Coincidentally, I had just tried submitting an unrelated article about Miiverse drawing detection and had to replace it with "P*nis". http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4826621 [edit] I ended up deleting the submission because it turned out to be an Onion-like site.

I find that very disheartening. Would HN be over-run with penis talk if it weren't for this blockade?

Why does any article focusing on women's experience have to have someone come along and say 'it's hard for us men'?

This is weird. Or not. I have hard time even making a difference between weird and not weird these days. Either way, carry on.

This is just neat. Now, "Hacking my Fleshlight" would be weird.

Why?

She is inventing an industry for something every human on the planet does pretty much every day. Big market, disruptive technology. Yet somehow I don't see it on techcrunch. I am reminded of pg's discussion on finding the taboo's in society. We still have plenty.

There are plenty of articles about sex toys in techcrunch. Why would you not see this one?

"Penis" seems like a very high probability spam term. You don't often see spam promising to increase the size of your vagina.
