It's now been 2 days since this was posted to hacker news. Here's the gender breakdown for the recommended posts:

209 unique males were mentioned 280 times

21 unique females were mentioned 26 times

Excluding GP's comment 14 unique females were mentioned 18 times

That ratio of 209 male voices to 21 female is the reason the genitals of a programming blog author is relevant.

*There were 11 mentions where I was unable to definitively determine gender.

Why?

There are studies who say that 90% of developers are male.

10% from 209 is 21.
