First, it's incredibly patronizing to apologize on behalf of another commentator without first engaging with the commentator directly. Not detailing what exactly you disagree with doesn't enhance your argument and is frankly, a bit of a cop-out.

Second, thanks for the link, Guido's just an all-round awesome guy!

Third, to reproduce an excerpt from the other HN discussion you linked (as per your comment): >> _The whole tech scene needs to collectively take a sensitivity training course to regain its humanity._

That's a pretty heavy statement. How about the fact that the OP has mentioned at least on 3 different occasions in the article that she was taking the feminist "AKA" human-centered approach to solving the problem. Many would read and be left with the impression that the OP is somehow under the impression that non-feminist approaches are clearly not human-centric enough. There's far too much convenient conflation weaved in there, and if we're making a huge brouhaha about being politically correct, I would you encourage yourself and the OP to take the sensitivity training before brandishing such accusatory remarks on the community that doesn't necessarily identify itself as feminist.

> the impression that the OP is somehow under the impression that non-feminist approaches are clearly not human-centric enough.

Feminism is well-founded on the premise that personal experiences matter ("personal is political"). That is what the OP is refering to in that statement.

> politically correct

Political correctness (a symlink to hypocricy) has nothing to do with this. OP is telling the story of how feminism's teachings on how one should pay specific and careful attention to individual stories of their experiences pays off significantly in the long run for social change.

Almost no other critical political approach pays more attention to personal experience than feminism. The ones that do borrow their attentiveness from feminism. Henceforth, rather than being offended for some reason for OP's comments on feminism, I'd suggest you check out feminist approaches to methodology.
