HN isn't always hostile to women.

The last time I made the front page under my real name,[0] I got a very encouraging comment about how it was nice that I had just started programming and was already thinking of hard problems.

Thankfully, it's simple enough to add an nginx rule to bounce anyone from news.ycombinator.com right back to where they came from.
