Right. People are pig-headed about gender, but people generally don't deny that women deserve respect as women. And they generally don't argue that diversity of gender is worth celebrating.
The top comment in this thread is basically celebrating Fred Rogers as a Christian and there are many threads and responses arguing that the Christian part is irrelevant or even despicable. I would expect analogous comments about women to be moderated out of the picture here. And I have seen that happen.
I can't say why Christian members of the HN community aren't more outspoken about this shortcoming in tech diversity culture. I suspect the answer to that question is fairly personal and complex.
As to "wearing on their sleeves", I don't see that happening much at all. On the contrary, I see people behaving much more in a closeted manner if anything. I don't think that's healthy for anyone.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoMy original point was that this was a good article about communication best practices. Sadly, that element seems to have been given short shrift in favor of mostly discussing religion, which I am guilty of participating in. The vast majority of the discussion here is not about principles and practices of good communication, a thing I would have very much enjoyed.
