They care that the industry is a boys club for men with the social maturity of 12 year olds and it's absolutely pathetic when there's guys on HN saying essentially "I don't get whats wrong with that joke".

You're a scumbag when you make fun of the vast minority. You're a comedian when you make fun of the vast majority. Adam isn't a comedian, he wasn't telling a joke he was making a public display of patheticness.
