My more specific concerns were twofold: (1) Discussions of numeric ranking systems for attractiveness, which are (I hope) strictly out of scope for HN, to say the least. (2) Insinuations of intra-workplace attractions being directed -- not towards coworkers per se -- but towards receptionists. So, I don't want to discuss the actual merits of this, but suffice it to say, I predicted that people would comment along both these lines: "That comment reflects actual gender bias (and possibly sexism) in the field" AND "That comment may encourage workplace frustrations of professional women by implying they cannot escape the sexual interest of their male coworkers". I find those thoughts to be not particularly interesting, at the very least because they are not related to the article that was linked to.
