Absolutely. The author's gender shouldn't matter if the writing stands well on its own. The issue is that skepticism about authority on the subject is a readily assumed knee-jerk reflex after reading the title. The actual writing doesn't meet credulity because of the cherry-picking of extreme examples used them to form hasty generalizations. Another issue is that a large swath of modern men, in my view, are silently ignored and/or don't participate in society as much in the recent decade or take part in these sort of public debates. Throwing around "incel" comes across as a passive-aggressive judgement tantamount to labeling people "terrorists" or "pedophiles". If younger people, independent of gender, are moving to the right, then that signals there is a messaging and/or brand problem with the left doing or not doing something. Perhaps the mainstream left needs to preach "tolerance of all != acceptance, muzzling people == totalitarian != liberalism" to bring more undecided, swing votes, independents, and such into their camp. Conclusion: They don't have a map their thesis purports to offer, only opinions lacking in merit, purpose, and constructive feedback.
