I’m a current student in his class and the response from women (students and course staff) has been strongly negative for the most part.

I wonder what the men in those classes really think if they weren't scared of being publicly flogged
Your comment is ambiguous. Could you clarify? Are they negative toward the behavior that is being condemned, or negative toward the condemnation? Are they pro- or anti-Shewchuk?
i think it plays into the whole “men are scared of smart women” trope
Also “smart women are not as interested in men” trope…
