First four paragraphs were a neutral introduction to the issue.
Fifth paragraph, the author goes really far off the rails of the article's own stated purpose (explaining the NEET phenomenon and lack of possible solutions). He takes extreme exception to one of the subreddit's rules, "No signposting of gender," but he refuses to accept "Running a gender-blind subreddit...[is] good-faith moderation."
Basically, he starts off with a neutral summary of the NEET phenomenon in general, but then gets really angry at a particular subreddit. Insisting that its clearly gender-neutral moderation rule (that literally says "Don't talk about gender here") is indicative of unforgivable gender-based toxicity.
I got sucked in, hoping for an insightful analysis of a tricky social problem, and five paragraphs in, it turned into politicized garbage. Sigh...
