Interesting that you are critiquing a woman for making observations without evidence, then you yourself make an observation without evidence. It couldn't be a double standard, could it?
> it is unscientific to claim this bias without evidence
We have ample evidence that almost everyone is sexist. Assuming that this doesn't apply to people on Hacker News is rather odd.
Please leave this gender war stuff to lesser mediums like X and Tiktok.
HN is following the standard principle that was true on the internet before pictographic avatars of real people became popular; that we are all who we choose to be online. “Nobody knows you are a dog” etc.
There are a few people who have tried to bring identity politics to HN over the years but it is unscientific to claim this bias without evidence regardless of anything else.
