That's from the article. This isn't productive and this should probably be flagged.

Actually, it reads like a thoughtless, sexist screed by someone who deoesn't actually care enough about the issue to give it the serious thought and attention that it deserves by someone who knows almost nothing about the topic and doesn't care to interested in gaining +1 Valor for their White Knight class.

I don't think that the article would be permitted to stay had they written something like this about education and women. Similarly, I think HN should impose their standards about quality fairly, and remove this post for its thoughtless, sexist nature and not sink to the level of engaging in sexist messages.

The frequency of such posts and writings have skyrocketed in my recent visits to HN. Did the world change overnight?

This is so over the top that I read it as satire (not good satire, but satire). Is this serious?
