Quite sad, indeed, when people are offended by untrue things being presented as true! How will we ever get science done in such an environment of easily offended people?

It's unclear, do you argue that the linked article is "untrue"? Meaning, it is bad science that produced a made-up result? (or was it a typo)
I was replying to the sentence about offense, namely, "They will probably have to change the title to not offend anyone."
The title of this HN post, "Mean differences in men's and women's brains are very large," is in fact untrue as the top-voted comment points out. They're statistically significant but not that large, and there's lots of overlap in the distributions.
