The article was mean and generally aggressive towards young people (of which, unfortunately, and for the record, I'm not a part of); she brags that she goes around pulling pony tails from young girls and "technically" (sic!) assaulting them, and nobody should respond?

It's unclear what this article is even doing on HN but since it it's there, why counterpoints to it should be frowned upon? Maybe "how old people are" is a bad generalization, but after reading the article would you disagree that she sounds full of herself?
