I was not so much trying to point out hypocrisy, as an apparent lack of self awareness. The author does not realize that he resorts to "group identities" as well, nor does he consider what kind of effect his statements as a teacher can have on his students. As another example of doubtful self awareness, the author mentions the enthusiastic reception of his "heterodox thinking" seminar — has he considered that receiving a perfect evaluation score (5 of 5) is NOT exactly evidence that the seminar has succeeded in instilling heterodox thinking in his students? And, given said lack of self awareness, I would not surprised if the author's attitudes about gender had more of an influence on his treatment of students than he realizes.
