hacker789 previous comments have an anti-feminist bent (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5573103) so I would suggest that it is coloring hacker789's judgement of this piece. This is probably why hacker789 talks about the authors motivations or secret intentions (similar to what I am doing to hacker789 now).

Using ad hominem against the ad hominem of a response to a piece about the use of logical fallacies. This. Is. So. Meta.

Love it.

"Feminist" is such a broad brush that labeling something "anti-feminist" isn't very useful.

But you're still right—like anyone, my biases can color my judgement of things, often causing me to prejudge a written piece based on its author. This time, I was right; often, I am not.
