Imagine being a girl on HN. You see this cool map and see wow, not a lot of women I can look up to it seems. And you go to the comments and see someone agrees with you. OK cool, maybe people would start replying with some important women who should be more famous.
Nope. Turns out it doesn't matter, because there are poor people who aren't famous either. You're actually priveleged to want to look up to women when there are poor people you could look up to.
>I personally find the responses significantly more interesting that your insults.
Have you considered that I'm not responding for the benefit of the enjoyment of some disinterested reader?
>If you are only interested in shutting down conversations that don't fit your preferred narrative, perhaps you are the problem.
And isn't this in and of itself shutting down a narrative? Aren't you just admitting that you would prefer if there wasn't all this unpleasantry, and that I'm a problem for not fitting that preference?
I'm not a moderator. I can't "dictate" anything. What I did was point out the problem inherent in a statement. If you got so offended by that and equate it to shutting down conversation, maybe you should examine your biases.
