The author meanders a bit -- it turns out the article isn't about what you think it's about after the first page or so but nonetheless it brings up some great issues.
There's a quote I particularly like:
"Typically, I finish in either the top 25% or 33% of my age group, but I conveniently ignore how many men in my age group could have conceivably kicked my ass if they were as privileged as me, and had been given as many opportunities in life as me."
