60% of women in tech reported unwanted sexual advances

I posted the article. I may be misinformed to what 'flagged' means, but I see no reports or 'flags' on my screens and whatnots. I am not a power user in any sense. As of writing, I see no downvotes, just an upvote total of 35. What does being flagged mean here so that I may avoid it or recognize it in the future?

Yours is the survivor that gained traction. There were earlier (and perhaps later) postings that were flagged (I'm guessing because of duplication rather than nefarious intent.)

Every user who has been around for a while has a "flag" option for every story, to be used for stories which should not be on HN, such as spam. Your posting briefly made the front page, then was flagged off of HN by people clicking that link.

There's nothing you can do to avoid it except avoid posting stories which imply Silicon Valley has any sort of sexism problem.
