Why do you guys pursume these posts get upvoted because they were written by women?

Personally, I read and upvoted this post because it was well written, interesting, and was interesting to see through the eyes of a total beginner. The author's gender was not a factor in my vote nor my opinion of the blog post. I am a woman myself.

Well, I'm a woman, too. And I don't think it is that impressive to make it to the front page. There are tons of submissions like that... But it seems a post like this is only upvoted if the poster is either a woman or at least only 10 years old.
Impressive? No. Interesting and well written? Yes.
