I believe that there's a strong bias, and women have to jump though it (as a man I feel strong sexual bias in my dating life, and do my best to accept it and jump through those hoops).
But exaggerations can lead to hating the other sex, which is always detrimental to the end result. The tips themselves were great, it's just important for the author to stay professional.
- MathYouF 6y agoWell said. I just thought the person who is the root commenter of this chain characterising the article as "An attempt to get sympathy" was overly myopic. I also feel bias in parts of my life and if someone had written a guide about how to overcome them and a person with the opposite traits said the point of it was only to get sympathy, id be upset that they dismissed the true point of the article, which in this case was to empower them to overcome what biases do exist.
- xiphias2 6y agoI think ,,An attempt to get sympathy'' is partly true in this case. Writing about bias against women founders is a cool topic nowdays, that's usually upvoted, and that makes low-effort articles, like this one get onto the front page. Compare it with a PG essay, where he goes over it many times to make sure that the writing is as good as he can get it. Or compare it to a software project where a person worked on something for years before a Show HN.
