front page article, loaded with comments opposing its position with vitriol. HN as ever.

  I mean, there is one comment that disagrees? As much as I disagree with that one, calling it vitriol is an overstatement. And one that claims bitcoins are scam which is attack on bitcoins not on women?

    One comment? The only positive one I saw was antirez's at the time I wrote this, and as of now the top comment calls it "scam faux outrage," the reply to which insinuates that this person is not worth listening to on this subject and/or is less experienced because they're a feminist, accusing feminists of "browbeating." The second comment from the top is your typical "kids these days" trope about snowflakes and says they're "very tired of feminism." Further down people imply you can't talk to women anymore because you'll be accused of harassment for no reason ("Wouldn't surprise me, in this atmosphere..."), dismissively ask why this needs to be discussed, blame the humanities for killing America with the cult of identity politics, claim all powerful women in tech are frauds, bemoaning this being "another SJW crybaby piece," and finally, above that one, someone who noticed the same thing I did ("As for other comments, I am really annoyed that mostly people come just here to complain that such article exists, and take all the space.") and someone who agrees with them.
