And I am really disappointed that you've comment-bombed all over this discussion for a good long while before disclosing that you are the author's roommate as well as the copy editor.
Why does that matter? You have an extremely aggressive and dismissive viewpoint when it comes to those who disagree with you.
I'm sorry that you feel HN readers are upvoting the wrong things but maybe (just maybe) it's not so bad. The article you are defending used rape 10 times to make an argument about sexism. I think even Rudy Giuliani would think that excessive.
One of the first comments I wrote explained I am her flat mate. I am also the original poster of this article. So that in itself shows bias. I have been very vigilante to show that I am both, and that I know both authors.
