I don't think he's saying, "I'm not the target market, therefore ban articles that aren't relevant to me." It seems far more likely that saying he wasn't the target market was more of a disclaimer. I would disagree that his post is "intolerant." OP believes the piece is sexist, which you may or many not agree with, but taking issues with perceived sexism doesn't strike me as intolerant. Out of curiosity, are you affiliated with the article? I couldn't help but notice your account was made a few minutes ago (HN highlights new accounts).

He wants the practice to not be allowed, not the article.

My point is just because he's not single and not the target market, he shouldn't be asking for a ban on a dating scheme.

I'm single and find the whole idea of "flying in women to meet geeks" to be a bit strange, but this idea that it should be banned is ludicrous.

There's too much "I don't like this" or "I don't understand this" so let's have some entity ban it.

I have nothing to do with whatever these people are doing.

where do you see the demand or even asking that this practice be banned or even disallowed ?

Dude... chill. I never said ban it. Please don't put words in my mouth.
