I understand your good intentions, but feel that you&#x27;ve been social engineered.<p>Those comments were flagged for good reasons, in the most positive from it is detestable that someone would try to use HN as a platform to advocate the exact opposite of what HN should attempt to stand for, in a more negative form this is simply trolling. As a result of not flagging comments like these I&#x27;d expect HN female participation to drop and eventually you&#x27;d see fewer female YC founders.<p>Which is exactly what the GP seems to desire since that increases the chances of them to fulfill their reproductive duty to mankind or whatever he feels it is they should be doing instead.<p>Novelty accounts spouting non-sensical flame-bait viewpoints relegating 50% of the population to bearing a minimum of 4 to 5 children (see other comments by the same user) are rightly flagged, they&#x27;re not the kind of thing we should either tolerate or encourage.<p>That people trying to advocate such viewpoints play &#x27;by the rules&#x27; to couch their trash in &#x27;a thoughtful and respectful wrapper&#x27; goes past the fact that the &#x27;flag&#x27; option is there for more reasons than just the tone of a comment (for instance, to flag flame-bait content), besides that comments that solely complaint about downvotes or flags are off-topic.
