Later in this thread, someone even uses it specifically to refer to only men:

> The reason I said hostile is that in most discussions on Hacker News and Reddit a lot of people argue that the only reason women are so under-represented in tech is that all the guys are very hostile to women. This survey goes against that. For some reason they refuse to believe that some things are more interesting to women than men and vice versa.

I can happily find a reference (though not in this thread) to a woman using it to refer to a group of all women if you like...

Since we both have anecdotes, anecdotes are clearly not going to "solve" this.
