She wrote a blog post, put it online for ... who knows? It could be literally any reason. For her own later reference, to help crystallize her thoughts, or just for fun. Somebody else posts it to Hacker News. Dudes (always dudes!) tell her to change her writing style. Why? Why should she? Why do they care?



Is the sexism really necessary?


>Why? Why should she? Why do they care?

In a word: constructive criticism

Again, I thought the piece was informative. I figured I'd voice my opinion in the form of suggestions, since this is a forum for such things.

Lesson learned. The only feedback one can give is positive.

>dudes, always dudes

What does sex/gender have to do with this? From your comment, it follows that you'd be less upset if women had commented. That feels wrong and regressive.
