There is no way you could know this. People you associate with may be misogynistic or engage in trolling on the internet but they don't tell you or you aren't around to experience it. Bottom line is that the tech community does have issues with misogyny along with the rest of western society, although you are right in that there was a flood of attention from unusual sources for HN (/r/mensrights I'm looking at you).



You're absolutely right, to be more accurate I should have said that if I witnessed someone performing those acts I would dissociate myself from them.


Society in general has issues with misogyny, not just western society.
