Seems like a sentence that has nothing to do with the paragraph it appears in.

I think it wasn't referring to comments in general, but rather to the ones on articles about women in tech/startups that are negative in intent.

What do you mean by "negative in intent"? Can you provide examples of comments of that nature?

Disagree with them!

Comments that disagree with the correct opinions, naturally.

Don't the downvotes already handle that? I wouldn't touch that topic with a 10-foot pole at this point.
