Honest question, does HN feel unwelcoming or uncomfortable for women? In particular: “I’ve found that some conversations online escalate to shouting matches quickly” do female HN users identify this with HN? Not saying Leap shouldn’t exist or anything, I’m just wondering if HN has these particular issues that I haven’t personally recognised.

I'm a woman and I love HN. I think the vibe here can feel unwelcoming to timid people, and disproportionately more women than men are timid.

Careful, given the current atmosphere of sexual politics I'm not sure it's safe for even a woman to suggest women are more timid than men.

(in the past this would be sarcasm but these days who knows)
