I won't point out just how much is wrong with the excerpt that OP has quoted (because HN is a gender-troll breeding ground unworthy of my time), but you should definitely research gender-based descrimination. It will make you a better person and a more successful leader!

    "because HN is a gender-troll breeding ground unworthy of my time"

It's pretty impressive to discount the views of thousands of other people and pontify yourself in the same sentence - all while adding nothing to the conversation too!

I'm going to assume you meant this as an aside, and not in response to my comment, as to do otherwise would be... uncharitable of me.

I believe there are interpretations of the OP that are not discriminatory or sexist, assuming you believe there can be any difference in the point of view of a particular gender given the culture they are brought up in.

I believe it's our responsibility as participants in the discussion to attempt to understand one another before levying charges, not only because it's the charitable thing to do, but because I wholeheartedly believe it leads to better, more rational discourse.

To do otherwise leads to, to paraphrase you, a gender-troll breeding ground unworthy of our time.
