I'm all good with supporting people of all genders to do whatever they choose, but this comment seems to be needlessly pedantic, and breaks an HN guideline:
- Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
We don't need to be so literal and inflexible about everything. Even with modern sensibilities, we're adults here and we're all capable of reading a comment like that and understanding that the author doesn't actually mean that no or even few women can be obsessive about coffee/knives/audio systems, or that no/few men can do yoga.
(FTR I'm sure I'm not alone here in being a male who does yoga and can also be obsessive about things like audio quality.)
