Please don't take HN threads into ideological flamewar. It's tedious, repetitive, nasty, and not what this site is for.
Taking a quick look through your comment history, I see you are generally an advocate for free speech and open scientific inquiry when it comes to, for example, looking for genetic differences between races and allowing Holocaust deniers the right to make their case. It's surprising then that you object to something as simple as looking at the basic demographics of this dataset.

I'm not objecting to anything, frankly there's nothing to object about. I've seen this movie a couple of times now, I know the plot pretty well. I'm just here for the popcorn at this point.
Anytime I read about a male being scared of patriarchy talk, I automatically assume you are a very fragile beta who needs coddling. Grow a pair.
Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. It's tedious, repetitive, nasty, and not what this site is for. Also, please don't do personal attacks. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.
My apologies. It's just so frustrating to see a post like his that does nothing to add to the conversation. I will try to be better in the future about constructing my argument in a better form.
Oh god I can already hear the gender studies reactionary task force lacing up their boots to come and rescue us from the patriarchy over this one. When they're done then we can segment it into race and show how it's 93 white authors and only 7 black authors and then the next round of clowns can come in to save us from perpetuating systemic racism.
