The underlying question “is gender biasing the production of scientific knowledge and scientific narratives?”
Not quite—your question belongs to the field of sociology of science, more or less, and this is a paper in an Earth sciences journal. The authors don’t ask questions about gender bias, they specifically propose a “feminist glaciology framework”, in part because they unconditionally assume that this bias exists and severely impacts the study of glaciers.
gets us no closer to the truth
I see no evidence whatsoever that this paper has any interest in what you or I might consider “truth” of the scientific kind.
I don’t know if such disciplines are well-known academic jokes or not.
