Go read any thread here touching on sexism, feminism, or gender equality. You get all the standard anti-feminist arguments ("it's not really a problem"; "men are oppressed too"; "she should have just asked nicely"; "my wife doesn't think that's sexist"; "it's just a joke"; etc. etc. etc.) I'm not sure I'd lump HN in with the MRA jerks wholesale, but in all HN reeks of privilege. There are several things HN does very well; gender equality really isn't one of them.
