You seem to only take issue with one side of the "ideological battle", it's almost like you just banned the account because someone said something you didn't like.

If you would really believe what you say, you would not let "gender pay gap" and "women in tech" topics be posted at all.

The key word in your comment is 'seem'. It seems that way not because it's true—we've banned many accounts for abusing HN from the opposite ideological side—but because there's a cognitive bias in such perceptions. People with the opposite ideology have the opposite perception.

I've written about this a ton if anyone is interested: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
