Is the argument here that drawing faulty conclusions from faulty evidence is fine because gender studies also does this?
You are missing the bigger picture! Just more confirming evidence. I'm not going here again. Already tried to explain this.

But it's not confirming evidence for your hypothesis (gender studies is bad). It's confirming evidence for 'bad journals publish anything'.

LOL. YES! That was exactly their conclusion. :)

No, their main conclusion was 'journals in gender studies publish anything'. But the first, reputable gender studies journal rejected it.
-
What's more, there are many examples of similarly bogus papers in the hard sciences being accepted by crappy pay-to-publish journals.

I'm not here to tell you gender studies is or isn't a reputable field, I'm here to tell you that the hoax doesn't support either position

There is far greater scrutiny on the hoax than on the discipline.
-
Whether or not that's true, that's not a defense of the hoax itself, is it?
-
what accusation does it need to defend, exactly?
