This article has nothing to do with the general content of hacker news. This is an article about the social status of women and how they overcome it, more political than anything else.

I would rather see articles about successful women leading innovative companies, doing innovative research, or saying intelligent things that don't hide behind "male" pen names.

I think intelligent female hackers actually get a lot of respect from fellow male hackers and this would be more on-topic if it pertained to hacker culture.

This article gives women more reason to hide behind a facade then it does to actually inspire them!
