Maybe people don't want to interact with you because of your behavior? If, as a man, I am basically an asshole to you, then maybe I don't want to interact with you, period. And let's be clear: I don't know you, I don't know whether you are a robot or whatever, I just know what you wrote here. And what you wrote here makes me hope not to have to interact with you in real life. |

I appear to be the only woman to have ever made the leaderboard of HN (under a different handle). As far as I can tell, other women are not generally being more warmly welcomed with open arms by the community than I am.
I do everything in my power to examine my behavior and correct any defects I can find. This only goes so far because there are, in fact, larger societal forces at work.
If all women are incapable of getting the results they need, it is disingenuous to blame them as individuals and deny that society has some problem.
