A practitioner I also taught at different University Architecture Programs in Philadelphia from 84 to 95. In 93 a "Women Department Chair" felt that I (married with 2 kids) was being too "tough" (toxic masculinity) in that I required far too much hard repetitive work building study models and doing drawing. I stressed the studio as a "serious place" ( a place to work) without distraction for min of 3 hours..... I demonstrated that the profession valued producers along with ideas. I felt set upon by women faculty (my toxic masculinity) repeated the charge that hard work is gendered and kinda abusive... I sadly look where we are now.....infantilized universities
