Did you read the paper? Where does this indicate misogyny?
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoThe women who treat other women harsher than men are doing so from internalized misogyny. The men who are harder on other men are doing so because being bad at coding is seen as (at least within our patriarchal society) a feminine trait and thus they are harder on men who display feminine traits than on women who they expect such behavior from. Edit: Just to clarify, are those down voting me unhappy of the literal message, not liking my use of sarcasm, or not approving of the message inferred by my sarcasm?
- douche 11y agoAlternative hypothesis: Men are harder on other men because they can be more honest, with less fear that any criticism will be misconstrued into something that ends with an -ism.
- V-2 11y agoIt's not clear that you're being sarcy. These days a lot of people hold genuine beliefs that are indistinguishable from sarcasm.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoHow much more over the top do I need to be?
- mpweiher 11y agoEspecially when it comes to feminist topics, I don't think it's possible to be so over the top as to be obviously sarcasm. See Poe's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

- DanBC 11y agoYou should avoid sarcasm on HN because it doesn't lead to useful or interesting discussion, and because it's indistibguishable from the viewpoints some people actually hold. Note that the first point is still true if you include the /s tag.
