Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? We don't need yet another gender flamewar.

The specific information in your comment is good. If you dropped the first sentence, the last sentence, and the snark ("Maybe - just maybe"), your comment would be a much better contribution to HN.

That's not a fair description of the article, but for fun, let's suppose it were. Your argument doesn't wash. If someone vandalizes your house or (let's say) a city park, that doesn't make it ok for someone else to vandalize.
