Part 8/15:
Helen Andrews, defending her column “The Great Feminization,” blames the increasing presence of women in workplaces for the rise of "wokeness," citing that feminine vice—emotionality, gossip, lack of confrontation—has hindered efficiency. She argues that the feminization of corporate culture introduces anxiety, legal liabilities, and a decline in meritocracy.
Leah Libresco counters with a conservative feminist stance, emphasizing that the problem is not women conforming to male standards but rather men being forced to adopt traditionally "feminine" communication styles. She suggests that the imbalance favors a feminization of male virtues, diminishing values like toughness and directness.
