I've downvoted you, because I don't feel that your comment is particularly germane to the submission itself.

(And I've seen enough minority/feminism-related discussions on HN to overwhelmingly agree that the community here is often incredibly hostile to women.)

Terrorized though? I'm not sure that being critical of some blog posts rises to that level.

extremists tend to use this wording.

Nearly all journalists use that kind of wording, and I am not sure that they are all extremists. Emotionally loading a sentence to make a point is normal rhetoric.

As you should know, as it is the same technique you have just used.
