"Ingenious remote control vibrator, We-Vibe 3, boosts sexual intimacy and bettersex. Definitely among top couples gifts ideas and romantic gifts." This is what I get when I search remote vibrator. She isn't inventing an industry. She's just bored and wanted to customize the vibrator.
And Larry Page was just bored and wanted to customize search results.

Micah, though traditionally a male name, is sometimes given to females. There is no reason to assume there was a sex change, maybe she got married or just changed her name.
Frankly I find it rude to speculate. It's none of my business what someone has in their pants, or what they used to have in their pants.
If we were talking about someone with a surgically reconstructed vagina I think that would be relevant in this particular story, just because physically it won't be identical and the effect of the vibrator could be different.

I wonder if an article called "Hacking my Penis" would ever last long the HN front page.
Being a generally excellent article aside, there are really very few articles on HN that deal with women, and even fewer that have a feminist bent, such as this one could be easily argued to have. There is also a noticeable lack of women in tech, so an article for and about women is more notable and interesting than articles about dudes wanting to be or being entrepreneurs. Those are being written roughly the same wa…
You are sexist. This article is not "excellent". It's good. Plus, it's been written by a woman. Maybe ovaries' smelling will push up its rank for you, weak person.

Reading the threads on this page the comments appear genuinely interested in this tech, and related themes. Asking intelligent questions Etc. In fact, the only awkward thread, which seems a little sexist is this one... Food for thought.
I like yor attempt at emotional manipulation, labeling as "awkward" people trying to have a civilized discussion about a strong bias and doble-standard; also calling it sexist when if anything we are asking for gender neutrality wish is the opposite of sexism for all I care.
But in this case I think you're wrong. This thread is a totally legitimate discussion of a very interesting, detailed and inventive technical post and I find it hard to believe that an equally detailed and well-written post from a male perspective would not be received in much the same way.
I don't think you're being sexist, but you are being wrong about something in a way that an average internet commenter would find hard to distinguish from sexism (and the average internet commenter is not particularly capable of nuanced thought).

> I was praying that one was sarcasm... It's part of a culture, one men perpetrate just as much as women if not more, that says "women are the only victims of sexism." If that statement doesn't seem immediately idiotic to you, the best I can offer right now is this: http://www.alternet.org/story/156194/what_about_the_men_why_...
No one says that. No one here is saying that. To portray the reaction that has taken place here, scoffing because it is female and sexual, is in and of itself sexist. Reverse discrimination sucks for whites, maybe I should question every submission that is authored by someone who isn't white? You'll note that I address male taboos about sex in other posts, but ironically it's probably not what you want or what you're…
It would be nice if "gender equality topics" weren't exclusively "female-positive topics", and that the topics about how men get the bad end of sexism weren't immediately met with sarcasm and derision.
This is a really cool hack, but my problem is that I don't understand the sex part. What's better about waving your hands around to control the motor speed, vs. using a dial? This is not out of prurient interest. I just can't understand the engineering without understanding the use case. Maybe you have to be female to get this?

"I don't like my tech articles biased by hormones"; is the most sexist thing I've read in this thread.
For example If a boss needs to hire a good secretary for one of his employees; and assign him the task of finding one and then tells him "Don't let your hormones decide for you" is pretty clear what he means; that sexual attraction and gender should be irrelevant in the selection proccess and he should focus in practical skills a secretary should have. And there is nothing sexist about that; because sexism is discrimination based on gender and this is an enforcement for the lack of that kind of discrimination.
