I believe valleywag is a banned domain for the trash that's generally on there
Well, it's a shitty article for one thing. It's just whining and moaning trying to make pg look bad using some out-of-context quotes. There's not substantive content or discussion in that piece. It's just "waaaaah, Paul said something, that if you take it out of context and bend it enough, could vaguely be interpreted as disparaging to women".
But there's no actual rebuttal of his point, there's no suggestions for what to do (if anything) about this situation, etc.
In short, it's garbage tabloid "journalism" and really doesn't deserve to be here.

Valleywag, and anything from Gawker, for that matter, has been banned for years, due to being complete trash. Valleywag's entire business model is to get page views by generating artificial controversy.
a> It is being censored b> Hacker News is mostly guys who don't really care
