That's pure sample bias. You can support anything that way.

Which is not to say that this thread isn't bullshit.

When individual comments on Reddit or HN get voted up, they cease to be sample bias and become a reflection of the community's opinion. That's what these sites do.

I guarantee you'd never see a comment like that voted up on r/2xc.

It's a clear indication of a problem with the community, and there's no way you don't see that...?

Sorry I was late to seeing this.

That's still sample bias: plenty of such comments also get downvoted, and plenty of opposite comments also get upvoted. Drawing general conclusions about the community in this way is projection.

I'll refer you to this book by a female writer, it is a light read and she presents the point that I made far more eloquently and persuasively than I could in the limited space of a HN comment: https://dontmarry.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/the_manipulate...

Males also have evolved to extract resources from tech males, though sacrificing some self-safety in war ops, etc. Maybe because geeks always make fun of them in tech field. "Oh, those strong males are so stupid, they can only take taxes and play with their tanks." They have no chance to get smart and enter the club.

Be sure to also screencap the hundreds of statements made against males in order to keep your perspective accurate.

Please link a few of these hundreds of statements made against males on HN in order to provide accurate evidence for your claim.

You can do the work for yourself and search HN. I'm not going to sift through it all. If you're actually interested in knowing, take a few minutes.

You do it. You're the one making the claim. I've been on HN like 8 years and I'm wondering what you mean too.

He won't. He is very afraid that his perception is indeed skewed and that he may actually learn something. Just like some other commenters in this branch.

As someone who has actually been here for like 8 years, I know better than to be baited into doing basic legwork research for the uninitiated.

I think the vernacular is "It's not my job to educate you"

I guess you don't feel that strongly about the matter. Why bother posting then?

In order for you to make such a statement, you have to believe what the parent said was completely false or that it is true but shouldn't be said.

If number one: Human evolution did not start 50 years ago. How do you think humans used to live for thousands of years, or how primitive tribes live right now? (Spoiler: it is not a feminist's dream) Are human males not more capable of gathering resources due to their inherent traits? Does evolution not select those most capable of reproduction? It does not take a degree in anthropology to put two and two together.

If number two: If basic evolutionary biology is too hurtful, perhaps it is time to consider whether the ideology that led you to feel inadequate is the social construct that needs to be done away with, rather than commonly agreed upon facts.
