In my experience at least a couple of posts about sexism in tech make it to the front page every month.
I guess they get flagged because there's really not much you can say about these posts. They are usually something like "I was at a conference and someone commented on my boobs".
Well ok, that guy is probably an asshole but most people on HN probably don't go around doing that.
It would be an interesting story if there was some evidence of tech companies deliberately deciding not to hire women or allowing unchecked sexual harassment in the workplace.
Those stories are about culture, which is why it's still important even if the majority of guys don't do it. And you are not being charitable in your characterization of them.
Please. I did not imply anything of the sort. If you're not going to participate in honest discussion, and instead try to score argument-points, please don't participate.
