Why did you feel the need to mention your suspicion of misogyny? Did the OP present any reason for you to believe he felt that way due to his comment? Your comment sounds akin to the old political tactic of asking your political opponent if

I tried that out and noticed minification and bundling of my js code taking several seconds rather than a couple of milliseconds. Am I doing it wrong or is that to be expected? I was using Ubuntu in virtual box on win8.

I think you've missed the point of the use of bears and foxes in the analogy. It was supposed to remove any hint of gender. Notice he didn't mention the bears were male and the foxes were female.

They also don't accept prepaid cards since they've said 80% of fraud cases involve prepaid cards. Linode took my money and worked well but they don't have a $5 price point.
