maybe because I couldn't get past my preconception that choosing between just two prospective dating partners is in many ways, not a problem that calls for machine learning. Actually, the difficulty was that you couldn't get past your preconception that the post was about machine learning. I didn't claim anywhere that I was writing about ML. The section entitled Why not use machine learning (TM)? may reduce your confusion. In any case, only one of the complaints about the post was even remotely as articulate as yours (which is quite orthogonal to the "sexism" and "racism" claims). Which, sure, isn't the kind of sexism that 19th-century-era women faced, but it also doesn't seem to add to any kind of mathematical understanding. The clause about sexism in this sentence confuses me. It implies, without actually stating, that the post does contain sexism but of a different sort. Could you clarify?
