I very much like that version of temporality/time’s passage. Let’s make it official 😂🥰

Thank you! 🤩

Like, the author is spelling out how women are getting an education to get paid as much as men in low-skilled jobs that don’t require one, and are overrepresented in female-coded professions that were coded feminine to justify paying them less. They’re not advocating that it’s an even field at all.

I think the piece is confronting the arguments being made. The fact that nobody would give a sh*t if the situation was reversed is implicit, but they also spell out at various points that the crisis of masculinity is based on vibes, not facts.

But it’s really not framing it in “all-lives-matter” terms at all. It goes on to skewer every claim by the masculinity in crisis brigade; phrases like “one could say this about all young people” are rhetorical, since they’re wedged between stats that indicate that women and POC are faring much worse

The piece is quite fiercely critical of Galloway. It’s set up like New Yorker stories often are, inviting us to sympathetise with the person they introduce only to systematically dismantle everything they stand for.

I’m not sure the author is making that argument. They’re saying the gender pay gap is a key driver of the increase in female university students, as women generally “need more education to earn the same as men.”

I applaud your diplomacy and self-restraint!
