An interesting argument, but ultimately deficient. For one thing, our recollections are biased; we are probably more likely to remember instances of a behavior in which one is negatively affected than otherwise. The author is free to form their opinions however they like, and personal reflections of this sort are really great for formulating hypotheses. But then, you need to get down to the serious business of actually systematically gathering data to test it, or at least go look into the literature. Also, the author, casually asserts that its mostly men who do this. The author gives some good reasons why that might be. But again, this assertion of a matter of fact, is based on his own, situated, biased, unreliable, motivated recollection.
