The submission shows a great capacity for humility.

I hope that's not a trait unique to women, but one wonders.

Why do you guys pursume these posts get upvoted because they were written by women?

Personally, I read and upvoted this post because it was well written, interesting, and was interesting to see through the eyes of a total beginner. The author's gender was not a factor in my vote nor my opinion of the blog post. I am a woman myself.

I disagree. Franky, I think males would tend not to submit posts like this to HN, which is their loss. That she is female is not why this post was upvoted, it was upvoted because it was deemed to be of interest to the community.

I really disagree. It isn't about the site. It's about the post, which happens to be well written and informative.

We've seen posts like this done by men before. The common thread is not gender, but age and humility.

So no. You are wrong, misinformed, inflammatory, and offensive. Crawl back into the abyss from whence you came, Tentacle.

I recently got to learning CSS, HTML and launched my own website using bootstrap that I host at home on a rinky dink Thinkpad X40. Would anyone be interested in seeing that? I'm a male though, so probably not huh? Also running an instance of gitlab, wordpress, owncloud and I had no prior knowledge of how apache worked about a month and a half ago.

unless it's a 6 years old.

Which says a lot about how sexism works both ways :)

Seriously, the bar for attention is incredibly low these days.
