I appreciate the effort on your part - it's a trash article however you look at it - and I wish I could even attempt an explanation but all I can think of is an attempt at a mega lib twisting of words, what a mess
I read it in autumn, I think, when people started memeing it on reddit. The best interpretation I've managed to come up with is the fact that in the Soviet Union after finishing college graduates were assigned a relevant job often in distant parts of the country where their expertise was needed the most and were expected to work there for a couple of years. This, coupled with fact that you could not just be a housewife or decide to fuck around and start a band or something without having a day job, may be wrangled as being "coerced" into a scientific career.
I still remember some terrible article that was like, "The Soviet Union coerced women into becoming Scientists and Doctors"
When you're trying to Red Scare so hard you go full STEM MRA
I've took my time to find the article despite the paywall, read it and I still don't understand what they meant by "coerced into scientific careers".
I'm pretty sure you need to have some severe brain damage to "understand" that dumpsterfire of an article.
