If Paul Graham doesn't rename this site "Hackex News" tomorrow, the woke brigade must cancel it immediately!
It’s tomorrow and not renamed. Surely, his silence on this issue means that he endorses the patriarchal dominance of hackers.

their explanation: it's "gendered and not inclusive"
"hacker" isn't gendered.
> 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

Good! we'll need her in a few years once these kids' anxiety drives them out of the wokeforce
And what's wrong with husband? Or housekeeping?
How am I supposed to talk about my husband doing the housekeeping?
you say
"My Man Spouse is doing the domestic science"
Not sure about housekeeping but husband is gendered so I assume that is the "problem".
That seems like they don’t understand the word. I can’t think of many more communities more inclusive than hackers. It’s certainly not gendered either.
Are all gendered words banned?
