A lot of those articles, at least, seemed to directly address the conversation of gender politics in the industry, and as far as I saw the ones that stuck around tended to be labelled fairly obviously as such.

In all honestly, I was expecting a language war or something similar--instead, I get some random set of bullet points about Prop 8 and a dumb spat between two JS devs. The author didn't even have the courtesy to provide a transcript or fabricated/biased retelling of the events.

So, no, that's not a fair comparison.
