Corporate and professional dynamics often make it to the front page because it's important to many technical workers and hackers who have to make a living. This is a topic that's important to many women in tech, as they are often dictated how to present in a way that's unnatural to them in order to be more "professional" (read tfa).

This is important to many readers of hacker news, as not everybody who is a hacker is a man (I am a woman who is also a hacker, for example, and I use a lot of exclamation marks in my writing, so, I found it interesting that this is noted by someone else, so I'm personally glad it's on the front page).

I'm assuming you're asking genuinely, so this is a genuine attempt to explain :)
