A comment on Ask HN: Is HN a ‘healthy online community’? I’m doing a case study for a class.

No. I avoid any topic even vaguely related to gender because people are terrible about it. I would be surprised if this comment doesn't get downvoted, just for implying that misogyny exists.

I'm tired of these generalizations, I'm tired of anger towards vague ideas. Of course misogyny exists in pockets and is bad. But it doesn't exist alone. Give specific and constructive examples of misogyny, what we can do about it, and let's work on them. Everyone knows that all types of injustice exist. Saying some form of hate exists is not a novel idea, nor is it helpful.

hey there, for you, what are some characteristics that make a topic seem 'even vaguely related to gender'?
