No, you're jumping to conclusions.

Requiring a "detailed set of comments before each block of code" doesn't imply that the comments have to be there if they're inane.



I have stated my personal preferences. It is fine if you disagree (I honestly don't care), but it is not OK to call me sexist for it.


Who called you sexist? I haven't even used the word in this thread.

I've said that you're jumping to conclusions, and implied that your reaction to this one woman is hostile, but I've never accused you of being sexist. Perhaps you need to take a step back and re-read what I've written.


You have written

"I think the comments here do a better job of reflecting the problems women are up against as coders [...] if they weren't so sad, the anguished geek cries of "sexism" in this thread would be hilarious. It's hard to be oppressed by discrimination when you're in the clear and obvious majority."

If I somehow misinterpreted that, my apologies - english is just my second language.


Ah...I see. I wasn't talking about you (or calling anyone sexist), but the wording was kind of subtle. I was referring to the many other comments that were/are complaining about the "sexism" of the story.
