I 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.

Or compare it to a software project where a person worked on something for years before a Show HN.
