What exactly implies that this post is about you?
To be frank, unless you actually do identify with these people (which I trust that you don't), I'm not sure what besides paranoia or narcissism would lead you to believe that this is talking about you.
Again, what dog has ever been offended by a critique of cats?

Maybe the title has something to do with it. I'm going to guess Mike is a Man, and is a part of Designer News.
Oh duh.
That's why Humans of New York catalogues all 8 million residents of New York City. And that "Techies" photography project is an atlas for literally every single Techie ever. It also explains why English totally doesn't have the words "every" or "all" for when you do, in fact, mean to describe "all" members of a certain group.
Now it all makes sense, and god dammit I'm outraged.
It's a shame everyone can't share your individual view on language. Then we wouldn't have to deal with different opinions than yours.
Quantifiers aren't a matter of opinion.
Clearly they are.
I must've just missed the comments from all of you upset that you weren't photographed and interviewed for Techies.
Not all techies!
Weird. This obviously isn't going anywhere, have a good day!

You need to understand this isn't about you though. Neither is every man being targeted and blanketed. However the title is phrased, the intent of this is to make an argument of how common and easy it is for sexist conversations to occur here.
No I'm sick of every man being blanketed as wrong just for being a man. Some men as mysoginists. Some women are misandrists.
Neither group should be lumped together and blanketed.
I don't feel targeted because I believe these things; I feel targeted simply because I'm a man.
