>[As a man], I have zero problems with this and am actually a little salty I spent the time to type this reply about a non-story.

Added additional context to your statement.

Why is the question you are asking is "Why are we getting upset over this?" instead of "Why do people say unnecessarily sexist jokes that aren't actually funny?"?

I'm not making that assumption. The only assumption I'm making is that the parent is a male, which is based on Hacker News demographic and the type of person who usually makes these arguments.
