I think you're probably not used to the extra estrogen then. I think you're seeing a lot more in these post than there really is. Most people don't care.
This reads like a personal attack—a cheap, low, and shocking one to see on HN. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because your comment history doesn't show anything else like it, but it's an obviously bannable offense, so please don't do it again.
Whether they do or don't, should or shouldn't, that's one pretty nasty way to say that people don't care about an issue.
(Yes, yes this directly feeds into the concept of what "virtue signalling" is. However, the relevant part is that I don't believe that direct insults of this type belong on HN.)
