(Hope it's clear that poster's trolling. HN is well-known for its history of misogyny, and this bias resulting from a male-dominated audience predictably means only certain perspectives get reliably voted up; while others get flagged. A well-known filter.)
- jsmthrowaway 12y agoI have no idea what you're talking about, but I think it has something to do with beachstartup's observation about a rape accusation having immediate consequences somehow being misogynistic. You've happily ignored that women can be accused of rape via the Internet as well and tried to stage a little performance of "HN Hates Women" with puppets you've created, so no, nothing you're saying is clear to me. Yes, I'm aware of that bias, and no, it has no bearing on the observations at the top of this thread.

- beachstartup 12y ago> HN is well-known for its history of misogyny this is a completely unfalsifiable statement, the standard stock-in-trade of people on the internet promulgating a specific political agenda.
