>The point is the dominant opinion on Hackernews is "James Damore was right!" or at least "James Damore made some good points",

Uh, that's not my impression. My impression is that the pro-Damore posters say he should not have been fired for the views he expressed. And they're not the dominant opinion; rather it seems neither the pro- or anti-Damore opinions are dominant.

I recall several articles defending the “women are biologically inferior at tech, it’s science” position on the front page.

Were they actually saying "inferior" or "less interested"?Those are completely different things. One is supported by evidence and the other isn't, as far as I know. Even if it isn't, what's wrong with discussing an article about it? Not everything on HN is textbook-level confirmed facts.
