The last line in the comment was a little petty but I don’t think I’d describe it as a Molotov cocktail. It sucks that we’ve ended up in this situation but Texas is an objectively more risky place to live if you are in the 50% of the population that has a uterus.

Women and healthcare are welcome to be discussed abstractly in their own silos, but mixing “women” up with the idea of “tech workers” in the context of moving to Texas is going to piss off a group of people that are less of a hassle to dang if he deferentially capitulates to their preferences in advance.

I don't know who you're talking about but this was a straightforward moderation call, not some weird capitulation.

Nearly every time we moderate any X at all, someone jumps to the conclusion "mod secretly agrees with the enemies of X or is secretly under their power". But X varies across the set of all topics, so if this logic is correct, we'd have to secretly be favoring everybody's enemy.
