Decent longpost about why feminization will likely spell the end of academia: https://barsoom.substack.com/p/academia-is-womens-work

1. Men compete with each other, it's how we're wired
2. Competition leads to results
3. Results lead to prestige, which is what makes universities convince people to attend and fund them
4. But when a field is perceived as woman dominated, men leave, because competing with women is not something men do
5. When men leave, the field becomes girl-coded and results drop off because (in general) women don't compete like men do.
