I have strong opinions on this subject but I don't think it's possible to have a healthy and productive conversation about it in a forum and medium such as this.
There are some subjects for which it is not possible to have a productive discussion at all anywhere, and this is one of them. This is an ideological difference so strong that it makes it difficult for the opposing views to even share a society.
There's 2 times more comments than minutes since the it was posted, about half of which are flagged, so I don't think this thread has long left.
Weekend HN has more posts by the right-leaning culture warriors. Has been the case for several years at least. Race and Gender related topics seem to be more frequent on the weekends.
Just because someone disagrees with you on an issue like this doesn't make them right leaning. Adding on the culture warrior part seems rather childish.
