I'm kinda curious if y'all have opinions even tangential to this. It seems like there used to be pride in being an autodidact, while now any education outside of the standard channels is considered illegitimate or "posing."

    Sort of. A lot of the "helpful" parts of the gender divide and associated roles have been removed, so we are left with the rawest, meanest ideas of what it means to be a man or a woman within this framework. This was brought to its apex in the 1950s, and more people are working outside the gender binary or not strictly obeying it, so it could be worse. It's a really complex idea and I am butchering it to make it fit into a comment chain, so it is entirely my fault if this doesn't make sense.
