Side Effect of High Testosterone:

Being more scared of failing your Mission, than Death.

You would rather Die and Complete The Mission

than Live and Fail The Mission

@corporatemach

Human Males evolved to do whatever it takes, up to and including sacrificing their own lives, for the sake of completing their Mission.
A seemingly ludicrous focus and commitment to completing the task at hand perplexes many people, especially Women.
The reason Human Males evolved to be this way is simple; it made them effective Hunters

Males who were incompetent Hunters were eliminated from the gene pool
Whether they starved to death, or Women considered them unattractive (thereby preventing them from reproducing), or because their children starved to death (due to a lack of meat to eat).

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
