Hi, I downvoted you because you appear to lack reading comprehension ("girly" is not HN's word or even the article author's word: HN is quoting the author and the author is quoting his critics). Either that, or you have some extreme political ideology under which it's not even permissible to quote people critically when they express inappropriate sentiments — if that's your position, you did a poor job of explaining it.

Then I flagged you because, in addition, your wording was pugnacious ("Is HN better than that?").
