This submission is part of a depressing trend in HN I'm seeing: attention grabbing politically correct headlines that deliberately pick some individual data points (in this case, a certain ranting comic book author) that should be enough to fuel righteous rage. Here, the said article takes a Facebook rant by a clearly angry person, who is fed up with certain people who he feels are extremely superficial participants in the community he identifies with, and he merely makes the observation that a large percentage of these seem to be females. Nowhere does he claim hatred for women in general. The formula for such articles is this: look for statements that contain a bunch of negativity and anger at the state of things from a certain person's viewpoint, see if the target party of this anger constitutes people who happen to be females, and if yes, brand them as misogynistic. I am pretty sure that the person in question has loved a woman, loves his mother, etc. Yes, nerds are overly critical people, but making the world a sterile and politically correct place where a person is crucified for posting some bile on his personal Facebook is not the solution. Deliberately misinterpreting every piece of bile that targets a set of people who statistically happen to be females is even worse. 'Misogyny' is used dangerously loosely these days, and overuse drives attention away from the real problems women face.
