You linked approvingly to that comment. I downvoted your post and your upthread comment as a result. I would flag that comment if it were posted to HN, and I'll explain why below. The comment argues that a woman (a "girl") should have no more or less control over her body than a corporation should have over its employees. One reason that's immoral is that people want autonomy, they thrive under it, and they deserve autonomy as a basic human right. Therefore, we should minimize the amount of control that corporations have over employees and maximize the amount of control people have over their own bodies. (And for too long, too many men think they should have control over women's bodies, especially deciding who women should be "allowed"/forced to partner with, so it's especially important that women be allowed to control their own bodies.) The comment you linked to isn't just incorrect; it's gross. It reduces the quality of HN as a forum, and it leaves me unwilling to read your upthread comment in a positive light.
