I'm fairly surprised at the reaction you've received here. HN sure is weird some times.

  I'm not, depressingly. Once my first comment hit -3 in as many minutes I knew it would go this way, because there are a lot of people here who want to whitewash things like this, apologize for them, and hold their hands up like the Iraqi Information Minister and explain what they consider sexism and how nothing they see qualifies. I'm satisfied being correct on this one and this thread just communicates something about Hacker News to me that I already suspected. (It's not good.) Watching both camps fight over my comments' scores is even more depressing. I really wish I had the foresight to graph it, because there is some carpetbombing going on and it only proves my point.

    I think you are generally right (might argue a few things but at this point wouldn't help the discussion) but you may need to work on your tone. Just a friendly advice.

      More friendly advice: if you generally think hn is a great place to hang around then think twice before announcing that the majority of of the voters here a stupid sexists. Maybe you missed some nuance? Maybe your cultural background isn't as universal as you would like to think? As mentioned elsewhere we are a lot of people from a lot of places. What is offending to me isn't necessarily to you. The opposite is also true.

  Remember HN is a lot of people from a lot of places. I won't talk too much about me but be glad I and others don't care about getting offended over every comment that hits people like me ;-)
