Sometimes "won't listen" is confused with "won't agree with me on it even though I bring it up more than once."

- dgabriel 17y agoThis phenomenon is not limited to women.
- Dellort 17y agoI wonder why you felt the need to state that; I did not imply otherwise.
- calcnerd256 17y agoPerhaps it was to help others who won't understand that you did not imply otherwise.
- Dellort 17y agoAt first I suspected that this person may have felt offended by this for some weird reason, but now it seems obvious to me that you are most likely correct in your assessment. Rest assured I have only honorable intentions in noting my little observation here. Sometimes I guess it can be easy to misinterpret information by adding more information to said information that may or may not come from past experiences or from somewhere else entirely; Perhaps context?
- joe_the_user 17y agoYes, in the context of the article talking about "men not listen", the clarification was useful.
- doki_pen 17y agoPerhaps because the article has the title "why _men_ don't listen".
- tman 17y agoThe poster needed to say that because there is no greater fear for the modern devotee of the religion Feminism than that of appearing 'sexist.' It's a bizarre word of recent origin, and one that their cult seems to use for any sort of recognition of the differences between the sexes.
- joe_the_user 17y agoMost of the pseudo-science discussed in the article was some form of pop-feminism and most of them involved bogus claims of differences between the sexes.

- Dellort 17y agoAre you sure? Maybe it is not as ill intentioned as that, but merely his opinion.
- dgabriel 17y agoI'm pretty sure. It seems quite hostile & derisive, and makes no salient point. It's a drive-by snark. To make my own position in this thread clear: HN, and the wider hacker culture, is often unwelcoming to women. I speak out when I see something off-putting, or when a possibly well-intentioned comment may be interpreted the wrong way. I would like to see more women hackers and founders contributing to HN, and I would like to see more diverse viewpoints in the comments. My position is not always popular, but I soldier on.
- Dellort 17y agoPerhaps it may seem that way from your frame of reference just like how this person may interpret Feminism in the way stated from their frame of reference, but I always withhold judgment when there is insufficient information present; It is better to perform further inquiry than to misinterpret. I believe you are making a mistake by speaking for all women, by stating that "HN, and the wider hacker culture, is often unwelcoming to women". In such matters we can only speak for ourselves, unless there is some official consensus to refer to more credible than what oneself might believe to be the general opinion; That is, a reliable source. I myself do not care what gender people have here; To me that is an attribute that simply does not exist in these contexts.
