From what I read on the incident, "volunteered" is not at all what happened.

You are barking up the wrong tree. I am mostly commenting on the death threats and rape threats and general hostility. I routinely advocate that women take responsibility for their half of the equation, but in light of how ugly it apparently got, your remark is just part of creating a hostile atmosphere for women.

Here is something I wrote that made the front page not terribly long ago (like February, I think): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7203401 I am a woman and I get accused all the time of victim blaming for talking about what women can and should do differently if they really want things to change, but, seriously, your remark just sounds really misogynistic and ugly to me.
