I don't agree with your opinion, but I vouched for you (after you were flagged) because you didn't violate any of the rules and I believe that your opinion is worth discussing.

Feminism can go extreme at times and your opinion has a level of validity. Additionally I would like to probe how a person like you would arrive at that conclusion.

Another thing that gets me is that you didn't do anything wrong. You aren't slandering women, you're just saying that there's sexism towards white men. I am not white and I say this is not worth flagging.

It's not true that that comment didn't violate any of HN's rules. It violated several rules, such as the ones against flamebait and ideological battle.

Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html?

Ok you're right. But the topic itself: of men also suffering from sexism, to me, does not violate the rules; if he presented that topic in a different way would it still violate the rules according to canon/you?

Judging from the lack of responses except downvotes, the answer must be "no". This must be all that pervasive tech industry patriarchal misogyny I keep hearing about.

Seems like a yes to me. Disagreement usually comes in the form of a logical justification for why there is a disagreement. Lack of response indicates to me that someone disagrees but can't construct a logical argument to justify a disagreement.

Sorry, I meant "no", it is not welcome.

You are correct.

I mean, it completely dismisses other people's experiences on the first line, alleges that some kind white knights are running rampart on HN, cherrypicks "points", links to random reddit comments to attempt to prove a position.

But sure, what a comment! How dare people thing it's crap.

If you had just omitted your last sentence that would have been so much better.

(It's a general heuristic on HN: Omit your last sentence. Most of our comments would be improved, as we are not as good at rhetoric as our passions would guide us to imagine.)
