The rest is generally the author like most 3rd wave feminists using these few vague usually deeply flawed correlative data points as a jumping point for wild theorycrafting and speculation. And they salt the article liberally with words like 'patriarchy' and a generally hostile tone to the point that this reads more like a forum post on resetera than an actual technical/scientific article.
Which is fine as long as everybody realizes contribution quality to HN is apparently now random blog musings the likes of which hundreds? of thousands/millions are generated everyday by the vast swath of upper/middle class privileged coeds of the western world and their male hangerons.

The author appears to be male. Your mask is slipping assuming the author is a "coed." 2. N+1 is a well known literary magazine that often writes about higher education, not a random blog. 3. HN has never had a requirement that all posts be technical or scientific articles. The state of higher education is obviously relevant to many technically and scientifically minded people who work in higher ed.
- cybersnowflake 7y ago1. Point me to where I made the assumption that the author is female. Why do you assume they identify as a male? Maybe your mask is slipping. 2. Just because a venue is 'well known' doesn't mean their content isn't garbage. Ie this article for example. 3. like I said, its fine but people should realize this is essentially an internet social media rant disguised as a formal article.
- UncleMeat 7y ago> coeds of the western world and their male hangerons "Coed", in most contexts, means women. But you really tip your hand when you list "male hangerons". This clearly implies that the other subject is female.
- cybersnowflake 7y agoI never specify which one the author is or if they are even either of the two.
- viklove 7y agocoed does not mean female...
- telotortium 7y agoYes it does. Also, even it the author used it differently, why would they say "privileged coeds and their male hangerons"?
- UncleMeat 7y agoIt does. Especially when the post includes the phrase "male hangerons".
- Chris2048 7y ago"Mask is slipping" is a personal attack.
