There's enough of a pro-sexism faction to flag it off the front page, this usually happens to discussions of sexism in tech.

The typical reaction of HN to articles about sexism in tech is basically proof in and of itself of sexism in tech.

I think the real reason people dislike sexism discussions is because there's not a whole lot rational discussion to be had about it. If you try to make a point about a single aspect you might disagree with, you get shouted down as sympathizing with sexists. There's no winning and there's no minds to be changed.

I reject this assertion. I am certainly not sexist, but I flag stories like these because they belong on Reddit discussion forums. Hacker News should be for tech-related discussion, in my opinion.

Out of curiosity did you also flag the recent posts about Tesla going private or the NYT financials?
