As a woman: no, this comments section is a sexist dumpster fire of the usual "but false accusations!" variety that paints women as generally being out to get men, because... Who knows! I still haven't figured out what our motivation is for all the alleged false accusations we apparently enjoy making, and I'm pretty sure in reality we all just want to live our lives and mind our own business. But also, you know, have some protection or recourse if some co-worker thinks it's cute to grope us or make gross comments about our boobs or something.

I enjoy reading HN, but it absolutely has a sexism problem and it shows everytime an article about something like this is posted. You know how to not get "falsely" accused of harassment? Don't be a creep and don't treat your woman collegues as being lesser-than. Really not that hard. I promise.
