Young people are flocking to astrology

If an HN comment is how a female software dev learned that hot people are treated better, then this is the easiest way to learn that lesson and they should say thank you. But this “think of the women!” hall monitoring has to be worse than whatever violation against women you thought you read in this thread. Are you sure this imaginary audience of female software devs isn’t made uncomfortable by your sort of comment about how we can’t even talk casually about human experience lest they feel uncomfy on HN?

Quite certain. The fact that you’d call them imaginary is simply … mistaken, to put it lightly.

I recommend asking some actual women how they feel about it. Feel free to link them to this subthread. But since you’re certain they’re imaginary, I imagine you’ve already done so and found it to be true, right?

This kind of attitude has no place in our industry, and it’ll be lovely when the social tides shift just a little bit more to filter it out.

> ask some actual women

Just asked my girlfriend and two sisters about your comment and they said it was cringe.

Maybe it’s time you start a poll to double check your (and my) assumptions about the frailty of women when reading online chit chat? Especially with something as basic as being more agreeable with people you want to fuck, something women do too.

Are they into software? I’m sitting right next to one who is. She’s my wife.

Women outside of tech are entitled to their opinion. But if their opinion is that hot women should be more likely to get a job in tech, then their opinion is on the wrong side of history.

Could you point the place where the parent actually said that? Because it seems to ma like you are responding to something else.
