I find the underlying premise of this article and the claim that there is a
"war on boys" absurd. It's a old argument from the same old set of people who
have the same old intolerant (and dying) paradigm.

Not sure why it is on HN at all as the content has nothing to do with tech...

I'm pretty disappointed in the article and the comments, and how like Reddit
this website is turning out to be. I'm not going to make any judgements
(though I really really am), but this same article has been posted to 10
subreddits, among them such gems as: SJWsAtWork, ThisIsNotASafeSpace, sjsucks,
and sjwhate.

Not affiliated (except that I follow him on Twitter), but the author, Jonathan
Haidt, is one of America's pre-eminent social psychologists. He is (or at
least was) a liberal who has engaged in some very serious social psychology
that gives massive insight into how people tick, especially where those ticks
are related to or concerning political party affiliations.

If the idea is to dismiss him as an anti-SJW, or anti-free speech, then I
would posit that you're simply inclined to dismiss no matter what. If the
complaint is that his work is spreading to, or being adopted by the anti-SJW
crowd, that's hardly his fault.

He may not be right, or he may not have done appropriate research, or he may
be based (his own studies would suggest that it's inevitable that he is), but
any dismissal predicated in part on that he's trolling is almost certainly
knee-jerk.

I don't doubt at all Haidt is qualified.

My complaint was more to your second point, that "If the complaint is that his
work is spreading to, or being adopted by the anti-SJW crowd, that's hardly
his fault." I do see a problem with how one-sided the comments on the page
(Heterodox Academy) are, and I do think that he should have stepped in. Then,
when I came to Hacker News, I saw similar comments, and that was
disheartening.
