Your accusation of the education system being hampered by a "feminist agenda" that doesn't see Donald Trump's foundation of "truth, personal responsibility and perseverence" has collected you enough downvotes that no censorship is necessary.

"Hacker News" is a bit of a misnomer. Submissions need neither be for hackers (in the strict, "person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data" sense) or even current. From the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Edit to add: HN also strongly values civil, constructive discourse. Given some of your other comments, I suspect what you're interpreting as censorship is the community reacting to the tone and language of your comments. Also, while there has been plenty of politics on HN recently (for a variety of reasons), HN isn't primarily for ideological discourse: HN members are likely reacting to that, as well. I get the impression that this isn't your first account on HN. If that's the case, I hope you can find HN to be productive for you as part of the community with this new account.

  > Submissions need neither be for hackers (in the strict, "person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data" sense) Well many would argue that this is _not_ the strict sense of the word "hacker". Please see the jargon file:- http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/meaning-of-hack.html http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/meaning-of-hack.html

    I'll happily concede the definition :) Particularly as my contention was that the definition isn't important in this case. I grabbed this narrow one from the dictionary.
