> Isn't it sufficient to explain the author's data to say that academia is an environment with a high tolerance for flakiness? Yep. Other environments with a high tolerance for flakiness include online dating - there are pretty much zero repercussions for flaking on a stranger you decide you don't actually want to meet. Many guys who've tried online dating have stories of girl agreeing to meet up then flaking on them. Does that make it a "female dominance behavior"? I get it, it sucks to be flaked on, whether by a professor or a tinder stranger, but I don't think it's limited to one gender.
