I didn't downvote, but if you want a "peer review":
* This is a longer post, which should be fine, but there is little organization to the different thoughts in it; this makes it harder to digest. Maybe do a bit of signposting or provide headings for your subsections.
* Since it's longer, your post would probably be better served as a top-level comment. Or a full-on blogged response submitted to HN as an article.
* Since it's longer, it's probably getting less attention; a few detractors are enough if everyone else is disinterested.
* You ask more questions than can probably be answered coherently in the HN format. It's possible that some are rhetorical, but it's not clear which.
* Some of your thoughts are strong, some are fine, some aren't all that strong at all. It's not worth breaking them all down. But, for example, you ask what inherent psychological differences exist. It's fairly easy (compared to debugging a core dump) to search around a little bit and get a cursory understanding of that position. Some people might consider that enough to downvote and move on. Given the length of your post, you might just leave that sort of thing out in the future.
* You seem to reject that gender issues don't include a right/left schism. I think that's an interesting position, but the burden would be on you to support it.
My reply is already longer than it should be, but I hope some of that is helpful. If not, it was meant well at least.
