I was coming from the fact that your Medium article is titled very differently than the title of your link on HN. While I've not had the same experiences as you in terms of comment feedback (full disclosure: I'm a man), I would say that HN is a much more high-minded community than other popular destinations on the internet. That doesn't excuse any behavior obviously, but I've seen many instances of outright misogynistic comments and hateful no-content replies get downvoted consistently on HN.
