Sorry to see you're getting downvoted, I agree with you though. Been here for many, many days and these sort of easy-drama articles have unfortunately become more of the norm over the years. They tend to capture everyone's attention but not really add much value from a strictly hacker/startup perspective.
Best thing you can do is just flag and move on, or log out and set your homepage to /best. FWIW, the founding father has moved on from the site, so what does that tell you about where its been headed?
- marvin 13y agoI am a hacker, and I find this interesting. Changing perceptions on traditional gender roles and issues is very much within the realm of intellectual curiosity. I don't see a problem with this story wrt. the guidelines.
- dang 12y agoThe story was just fine with respect to the guidelines. The thread, unfortunately (and predictably), was not. I share your frustration about that, but I also understand why many users flagged the story—not because it's uninteresting or unimportant, but because HN, or rather a small subset of HN users, can't manage to discuss it without a flamewar.
- mkr-hn 12y agoThe /r/TrueReddit/ thread on the subject is good: http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/24bvrm/male_rape_in_america_a_new_study_reveals_that_men/ http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/24bvrm/male_rape... I highly recommend getting Reddit Enhancement Suite so you can collapse child threads by default.
