I see this type of comment and attitude way more often than I think is healthy, at least on HN. I think it's intellectual anxiety and or toxic masculinity.
It’s nothing of the sort. It’s the kind of reply you’d get if you tried to answer a exam question with nonsense words that doesn’t advance the conversation, at least intellectually. Your claim of toxic masculinity is absurd. People want to talk rationally and it can be very frustrating to have nonsense smeared all over a thread.
