> there are plenty of in-depth critiques

I'd be interested to read a few if you could provide some links. This assumes they exist of course, from the reading I've done on the topic I haven't seen any substantial rebuttal linked anywhere, but I've heard more than one person complain that the only rebuttal they've seen is "sexist!".

I have no particular horse in the race so if you do have content to back up your assertion I'd love to read it.
