This article seems openly misogynistic. There's nothing inherently "effeminate" about refusal to work, brooding over obstacles, perhaps having principles or ethics falling in the way of becoming a quant at an HFT firm. I also feel like the term "trannyism" as used in the article just seems vacuous. What is that word trying to inspire? Just because you have the ability to be stoic for work isn't making you more valuable as an individual. Does it allow you to increase your margins? Sure. But that ethical argument has absolutely nothing to do with where someone lies on this new masculinity contest everyone seems to engage in. Just because you have a Y chromosome doesn't mean you don't have Fragile X.
