As a difficult masculinist, who criticizes every article on the topic, I can assess that at least in this article, the journalist did their job and didn’t resort to simplet answers like “muh men don’t cry”. Look at the balls it takes to write the following:
> I asked Hershbein what was behind the massive gender gap in Kalamazoo. Because he is a true scholar, his answer was, "we don't know."
When you see that, you know that you’re facing a good scientist. Someone who listens and looks at the world. Real science is dirty and doesn’t bode simple explanations.

Reality wasn't created with our moral sensibilities in mind - to presuppose that it was has rather religious connotations to it. Even in the face of 2:1 female to male college student ratios, look up the ratio of sex specific scholarships that still very very very heavily favor females. As if now wasn't the time to proclaim victory for female enrollment and at least move those scholarships to be sex agnostic.
- ryan93 4y agoPeople talk about enrollment favoring women. But from what I found men still dominate engineering, some sciences and are close to equal in medicine(more men pursue surgery). In blue collar trades men predominate. I don't see how the increase in women obtaining psychology or public health degrees means they are surpassing men. No criticism intended I have a useless degree(economics) myself.

There are many great scientists. What you see here is the courage to speak the truth. Not to be afraid. Not to turn your back on it. In a bullshit culture run by imposters, that is as close to heresy as you can get. Lesser scientists find the truth and know they would be better to bury it to protect their selfish short-term ambitions. Those kind of "good scientists" are ten a penny.
