Am I the only one that is getting tired of this never ending sexist drawl of one-sided political articles pretending to be tech articles? This BS is ruining my hacker news experience.

There is very little truth to the vast majority of these "women are the victims of everything and all men are to blame" polemics. Sometimes bad things happen: but it really has nothing to do with gender. Most bad people are bad independent of their gender.

It's always easy to spot the real sexists: because they can't stop generalizing the whole world into this statistically irrelevant dichotomy of gender. Maybe there are SOME people who do actually act based upon this particular metric, but I've never known any one of them (male or female) to do so without having had some prior negative experience with the opposite. It's tit for tat: and as they say "two wrongs don't make a right" [no matter what sex you are].

So please, can we put the brakes on the rest of this low grade moralizing and get back to actual tech news?

I vote for no more political BS on hacker news. If you want to moralize join a religion. This place is supposed to be for hackers and tech (both gender neutral).

Thanks.
