In general it's good for men to be aware that women don't actually like each other, on average.

Certainly not as much as men like women, on average.

I keep "rediscovering" this, so maybe others need to be told/reminded.

That's a massive inflammatory generalization about large groups of people. Those are flamebait. Please don't post flamebait to HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

If you want to post something nuanced and relevant about your own experience, that's great. But whatever your experience has been, inflating it into grandiose claims on classic flamewar territory is not going to end well—and is also much less interesting. We don't want gender war here. It's tawdry, repetitive, and boring.

Counter anecdata - that's not my experience. Idk about US though.

HN doesn't "request scientific rigour". If you imagine something like that, of course you're going to find reams of counterexamples. That's not because other people are being inconsistent, it's because you imagined something untrue.

The "piece of crap blogpost" details their data and methodology and gives a link to the published paper that the "piece of crab blogpost" is about.

Because you aren't attacking data or methodology I have to assume your post reflects more issues you are struggling with than issues raised by the paper. Of course, I'm sure the data and methodology have flaws or need further research. It's not within my skillset to judge it. But these things are almost never perfect or the end all.

Google, Uber, Coinbase, Basecamp, HN's own pg - they were all in news because of racism and/or sexism.
