You're applying a false equivalence here. Some things are positive changes and make sense, and some are not. Grouping everything together isn't helpful.

I am male, and my first thought on reading the title was that it was juvenile to a point that I was surprised to see it as a title on HN. Hearing someone else echo that feedback is helpful and will hopefully help the author in their growth.

This is not a "bend over backwards" request, it's a dumb sexual joke on HN, and your response comes across as very condescending.

Lack of self-awareness and pathetic childish pearl-clutching go so well together.

Go cry to mommy about swearing on the internet if you can't handle it, maybe she can install a filter.

For what it's worth, I even partially agree with you.

I went back and noticed that the original comment is dead and flagged now. So I 'vouched' for it: I don't entirely agree with the contents, but I think it is part of a good debate.
