He links to the MVC article literally in the sixth word of the post. Patrick McKenzie is a very known figure on HN and runs several technology business. I'm sorry but there is nothing about gender or skin color here.

Today with all the shrill American feminism, other women have been denied a voice in this debate and nobody from outside America is posting in that twitter hashtag or blogging about how they are suffering WIT while earning >90k dollars per year.
So basically, a software dev announced a Twitter campaign on a Silicon Valley startup's website. Naturally, it only hits Hacker "News" when some white man placates fellow uninformed ideologues with "I’m honestly troubled by joining a Marxist movement on May Day".
(Translating #talkpay into market theology — is this analogous to how Soviet commissars made bold ideas safe for consumption?)
BTW: May 1st commemorates the Chicago Haymarket affair, where workers went on strike for the 8-hour day. And four anarchists were martyred by the state via hanging.
