I contrasted two of the points that the author made in the article, not all of them. Many of his points have been brought up by others, and they are valid, we simply disagree with them. As I said in my post, the title was mildly negative hyperbole, obviously click-bait. "It literally provides no value, and tons of problems" can be true in certain contexts, which is why I also criticized that nuance and proper framing of the author's particular needs and preferences were missing.

He was upset that Sara shared the criticism (as I stated) and his feeling empowered to write a public, manipulative tweet to her is something that women uniquely face, and women of color also face from white women.

You do not see white men doing this to each other.

I agree with your analysis in the broader sense, but this claim is simple false, and brings nothing to the argument.

I obviously disagree, but I'm open to seeing some examples.

Isn't 80% of Hacker News exactly those "white men" disagreeing violently on what is this week's best language/framework/practice?

Are they using heart emojis and telling each other "thank you for posting on HN about this framework only to ruin my day"? Poor comparison.
