Oh great! Another "Look at me, I'm a woman" post. I'm going to call her a "stuck up bitch" in her wordpress comments and see if wordpress has some magical powers to stop me from judging her in public.
Edit: Also, the reason I (and most others) use Google+ is that we get to know a lot more people who share our interests on a global scale. The whole point of the platform is to socialise. Sharing photos with just your friends (which is primarily what FB is used for) isn't "socialising", it's "sharing photos with your friends".

I'd just like to point out regardless of your age, gender, nationality, et cetera, that you're an asshole.
The fact that this "Look I'm a woman" and "Stuck up bitch" crap has been sitting here not getting downvoted (and even getting upvoted evidently), is a glaring indictment of the HN community overall. This is the kind of malicious shit people value, I guess.
One guy makes an asshole comment. He gets a couple of votes. It's now "a glaring indictment of the HN community overall". What were you saying about generalisations again? Or does that apply only to women?
>Women are faced with a type of black and white judgement that categorizes us in many ways as ‘nice’ or ‘bitchy’, ‘stupid’ or ‘nerdy’, ‘virgin’ or ‘whore’, with little gray area between. Each of these labels is dehumanizing in its own way. This is particularly overt online, and is a phenomenon that has been well documented.

what was that about being judged? and generalizations?
Excellent point. This blog post basically played the gender card in the title, but never fully explained itself. False advertising.

I lol'd. Well put my friend.
Yeah it's called moderation tools. Have you met internet?
You can delete comments and close comment threads on your own posts on Google+, just like you can on wordpress.
Can't use a pseudonym on Google+, hence this not being posted on Google+
