>Have you recently done any of the following on HN:

Probably. I engage commenters -- and because of the handles (which I don't even check before commenting) I seldom know whether they are men or women (or LGBT), and basically I don't even care whether they are X or Y sex or not, as long as they have something interesting to say, or say something that I disagree with and want to comment on.

I'm an equal opportunity "somebody is wrong on the internet" commenter.

>These things happen routinely for men on HN. I think they are far less common for women.

Maybe because woman are much fewer than men on HN? I engage with both men and women on somewhat equal frequency on other forums and media, e.g. Facebook.
