> Isn't this one of those things that are on the line where if just 1 person says it's offensive, then it should be treated as such.
I find your post offensive, but I'd never suggest that you shouldn't have the right to post it. (Hacker News would certainly have every right to delete it if they wanted, but I'd find that even more offensive.)
> It's kind of like if there were only 10 men and 2 women in a room, then by democracy, you'd probably end up with rape being OK.
Speaking of offensive, you just implied that at least three out of ten men would find that an acceptable outcome. I understand the point I hope you meant there ("majority rule" has serious problems if you don't preserve fundamental rights), but you picked a truly awful way to express it.
