"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression."
what you are saying is that, now that women are accustomed to their privilege, equality (including men in the field of faces) would feel like oppression again, so best to leave them out?
This tweaks on that notion. Somebody got angry about it. That person got downvoted. We all learned a tiny lesson about the ways that women get excluded regularly, and how that would make you feel.
If one particular HN poster learned a lesson that not everybody supports them on "I won't complain about lists that exclude women but I will complain about lists that exclude men, and pretend it's about equality", then that's another tiny bonus. Not a big one, but this is the kind of thing that happens in tiny increments.
