Hacker News users flag posts relating to gender whenever they come up. It's long been my opinion that flagging is too powerful on HN. Legitimate stories about Titstare and that hackathon where women fetch drinks for you were disappeared very quickly.

Though in this instance I'm not sure it's so bad, we have very little to make a meaningful discussion out of yet.

There's a better-written story over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7405510

But it's magically vanished from being listed on the front page: http://hnrankings.info/7405510,7405325/

The discussion about the tweet mentioned above is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7403344 (and it looks like it was flagged off the front page almost instantly)
