Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

If you say that the title of this post is misleading, you are trivializing the experience of this young woman. She is finding out that all her colleagues at Stanford in computer science are telling her that she is only getting job interviews at prestigious companies because she's female, and you think that the problem here is that there's a single word wrong in a post title on Hacker News? Priorities, people.

My apologies; I certainly didn't mean to trivialize it at all. My intention was exactly the opposite; I almost didn't follow the link because I figured the story at the other end was unlikely to be more than hearsay and/or mudslinging. But I did read it (mainly because I recognized the ladycoders.com domain name), and was surprised to find a brief but excellent observation about how easy it is for women to conspire against their own self-interests. That's the part that should be in the headline.
