This could make it sound like LessWrong is antifeminist. I'll just clarify that this is (very?) false. It's just that the people doing karmassassination are possibly antifeminist.
Heh. On LW you can discuss whether feminism makes sense and how much -- that by itself is enough to label it as "antifeminist" in certain circles.
For the avoidance of doubt: Yes, I agree. LW as such has no position on these issues; such evidence as I've seen suggests that the median LW participant is favourably disposed towards feminism[1] and politically liberal; one could easily get a different impression from reading LW, a fact with a variety of possible explanations.
[1] The definition of "feminist" and the question of who is entitled to call themselves feminist are subject to some controversy, hence my cautious wording.
