> Why exactly should the expectation of justification go one way but not the other?
The existing conditions in Antarctica.
The idea that sexism is an absolute abhorrent behavior (with a focus on either or both genders) is not something to promote, despite the fervor in recent years. The sexes have a different representation in the arctic and pointing them out is akin to pointing out that a lot of left handers apply to NASA. I wouldn't call something garbage because I'm offended someone held up a patch that says "Only left handers are in their right mind".
Getting upset at this writer/article/situation is not constructive. Nor is the condemnation a fair editorial critique, imo.
