That’s not sexism, just being disrespectful.

But why are you surprised about this if the next article on HN may be about technology in PornHub?

It’s okay to treat women as a piece of meat in porn, but suddenly it’s a big deal if people are making sexual comments?

When "being disrespectful" tends to happen more often to women than men, that is sexism.

No more or less than it's ok to treat people as units of work in corporations. I rarely see sex-tech on HN anyway, plus not every feminist has a problem with porn.
