Why Women Aren’t Welcome on the Internet

Am I the only one that is getting tired of this never ending sexist drawl of one-sided political articles pretending to be tech articles? This BS is ruining my hacker news experience.<p>There is very little truth to the vast majority of these &quot;women are the victims of everything and all men are to blame&quot; polemics. Sometimes bad things happen: but it really has nothing to do with gender. Most bad people are bad independent of their gender.<p>It&#x27;s always easy to spot the real sexists: because they can&#x27;t stop generalizing the whole world into this statistically irrelevant dichotomy of gender. Maybe there are SOME people who do actually act based upon this particular metric, but I&#x27;ve never known any one of them (male or female) to do so without having had some prior negative experience with the opposite. It&#x27;s tit for tat: and as they say &quot;two wrongs don&#x27;t make a right&quot; [no matter what sex you are].<p>So please, can we put the brakes on the rest of this low grade moralizing and get back to actual tech news?<p>I vote for no more political BS on hacker news. If you want to moralize join a religion. This place is supposed to be for hackers and tech (both gender neutral).<p>Thanks.
