It's because it clashes with liberal ideologies which is the dominant culture on HN, colleges and california. What I'm saying comes from a field called evolutionary psychology. I believe Jordan Peterson gets a lot of his knowledge from there. But also what I'm saying is stupendously obvious.
HN does have a scientific slant for sure but unbeknownst to it's very users they also have a extreme liberal bias among certain users as well.
I would say I have a roughly equal amount of upvotes and downvotes. At one point my post was up by 3 and now it's at 0.
Its Science and evolutionary psychology vs. extreme liberalism.
In extreme liberalism Basically all genders are equal and reasonable there can be no major differences or negative things said about either. Feelings are more important then reality as evolutionary psychology has a lot of negative things to say about the human experience that make genders unequal in even taboo places like "intelligence"
I've talked about this stuff before in other venues that are in person where people who disagree have to be mostly polite. What I have found is that men largely agree while women do not. Even though I'm basically calling men irrational creatures fighting like idiots for women's approval, men are generally more accepting of that negative label then women are of being called the "practical" sex. I thought women would be more accepting of that label given they've been stereotyped as "emotional" since the dawn of time. Being practical tends to be a compliment... But anyway...
This explains the 50-50 thing I'm seeing going on here with the votes. The line is probably divided between gender... Women and very liberal people tend to not agree while most Men do agree.
