The Feminization of Society: Threat or Menace?

Helen Andrews looks at what feminism has wrought.

Mostly dysfunction, decline, and dissension.

This might be a tough read for some women. I don't think this is about women per se, however: It's about women with a specific mindset, the mindset of woke feminism and Girlpower Marxism. The kind of woman being pushed to the fore and put in charge of corporations and academic departments is usually a highly-political feminist who puts feminism and feminist activism far, far above the needs of the corporation or institution she is supposedly serving.

Feminism was, is, and will always be predicated on the idea that Men Were, Are, and Always Will Be Wrong, and therefore any institution previously dominated by men is tainted and must be completely razed and rebuilt according to feminist Marxist principles.

It's like young blacks rejecting studying and reading as "Acting White." When you reject, wholesale, practices that have a proven track record of success, you're committing yourself to unsuccessful practices.

And so too with feminists, who see things like objectivity, professionalism, dispassion, and actual equality and most of all, capitalism itself, as antiquated notions of a diseased Patriarchy which must be rejected entirely.

They don't want to be seen as Acting Male.

And so they keep taking functioning institutions and changing them. And when you change every foundational aspect of a functioning institution, what you wind up with, most of the time, is a non-functioning institution.

And they keep calling this "victory."

2019, I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that changed the way I look at the world. The author, writing under the pseudonym "J. Stone," argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. The entire "woke" era could be extrapolated from that moment, from the details of how Summers was cancelled and, most of all, who did the cancelling: women.
The basic facts of the Summers case were familiar to me. On January 14, 2005, at a conference on "Diversifying the Science and Engineering Workforce," Larry Summers gave a talk that was supposed to be off the record. In it, he said that female underrepresentation in hard sciences was partly due to "different availability of aptitude at the high end" as well as taste differences between men and women "not attributable to socialization." Some female professors in attendance were offended and sent his remarks to a reporter, in defiance of the off-the-record rule. The ensuing scandal led to a no-confidence vote by the Harvard faculty and, eventually, Summers's resignation.
The essay argued that it wasn't just that women had cancelled the president of Harvard; it was that they'd cancelled him in a very feminine way. They made emotional appeals rather than logical arguments. "When he started talking about innate differences in aptitude between men and women, I just couldn't breathe because this kind of bias makes me physically ill," said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at MIT. Summers made a public statement clarifying his remarks, and then another, and then a third, with the apology more insistent each time. Experts chimed in to declare that everything Summers had said about sex differences was within the scientific mainstream. These rational appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria.
This cancellation was feminine, the essay argued, because all cancellations are feminine. Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis, which the same author later elaborated upon at book length: Everything you think of as "wokeness" is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.
The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. How did I not see it before?

Andrews notes that while we speak of feminism in terms of firsts -- first female Justice, first female astronaut, etc. -- the "tipping point" comes when women gain majority status in an institution.

And women now dominate many institutions, and nearly dominate many more.

The same trajectory can be seen in many professions: a pioneering generation of women in the 1960s and '70s; increasing female representation through the 1980s and '90s; and gender parity finally arriving, at least in the younger cohorts, in the 2010s or 2020s. In 1974, only 10 percent of New York Times reporters were female. The New York Times staff became majority female in 2018 and today the female share is 55 percent.
Medical schools became majority female in 2019. Women became a majority of the college-educated workforce nationwide in 2019. Women became a majority of college instructors in 2023. Women are not yet a majority of the managers in America but they might be soon, as they are now 46 percent. So the timing fits. Wokeness arose around the same time that many important institutions tipped demographically from majority male to majority female.
The substance fits, too. Everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over the masculine: empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition. Other writers who have proposed their own versions of the Great Feminization thesis, such as Noah Carl or Bo Winegard and Cory Clark, who looked at feminization's effects on academia, offer survey data showing sex differences in political values. One survey, for example, found that 71 percent of men said protecting free speech was more important than preserving a cohesive society, and 59 percent of women said the opposite.
...
Female group dynamics favor consensus and cooperation. Men order each other around, but women can only suggest and persuade. Any criticism or negative sentiment, if it absolutely must be expressed, needs to be buried in layers of compliments. The outcome of a discussion is less important than the fact that a discussion was held and everyone participated in it. The most important sex difference in group dynamics is attitude to conflict. In short, men wage conflict openly while women covertly undermine or ostracize their enemies.

My own take here is that men tend to have one-on-one conflicts whereas women tend to call up all of their friends and allies when they have a conflict and get as many people as possible on their side and against their opponent.

Men's conflicts resemble private duels. Women's conflicts resemble political campaigns.

And that's what we see everywhere in society now: we no longer have arguments. We have, instead, political campaigns and popularity contests for every single minor personal issue.

Bari Weiss, in her letter of resignation from The New York Times, described how colleagues referred to her in internal Slack messages as a racist, a Nazi, and a bigot and--this is the most feminine part--"colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers." Weiss once asked a colleague at the Times opinion desk to get coffee with her. This journalist, a biracial woman who wrote frequently about race, refused to meet. This was a failure to meet the standards of basic professionalism, obviously. It was also very feminine.
Men tend to be better at compartmentalizing than women, and wokeness was in many ways a society-wide failure to compartmentalize. Traditionally, an individual doctor might have opinions on the political issues of the day but he would regard it as his professional duty to keep those opinions out of the examination room. Now that medicine has become more feminized, doctors wear pins and lanyards expressing views on controversial issues from gay rights to Gaza. They even bring the credibility of their profession to bear on political fads, as when doctors said Black Lives Matter protests could continue in violation of Covid lockdowns because racism was a public health emergency.

I have railed about this a lot: The entire concept of "professionalism" and "professional detachment" went out the window as women began dominating fields. No longer do the professions seek to detach professional expertise from mere personal feeling and opinion. Now, professional power is used to leverage personal feelings and opinions and inflict them on the public.

We keep seeing this in corporate decisions. Look at Star Wars: The smart, obvious play was to keep making Star Wars movies as they'd always been, power fantasies and light war dramas mostly aimed to appeal to male sensibility. (Women just don't have as many fantasies about physically dominating their opponents.)

But Kathleen Kennedy decided to take a brand bought for $4.05 billion and use it to further her personal political ends.

And we just keep seeing this again and again with Bud Light, Cracker Barrel, Amazon's disastrous series under Jennifer Salke, etc. We keep seeing a complete failure -- or an intransigent refusal -- by women in power to consider that maybe a brand that has historically appealed to men or traditionalists should remain that way. They feel that the brands are icky as they are, and must be reshaped into something they'd personally enjoy.

I keep saying the same thing: If someone told me to write a Hallmark holiday romance movie, I'd watch 20 of them, make notes about what the basic fantasy being offered to viewers was, and attempt to duplicate that. I would not make the male character the protagonist and make the drama about whether or not he'd land the unobtainably beautiful female lead. I would not add guns and Brazillian jiu-jitsu. (I would add a lot of dogs, but that's fine, because women like dogs. Who doesn't.)

But every time I turn around that's exactly what female "professionals" are doing, charging into fields they know little of with the Mighty Confidence of a Fourteen Year Old and remaking it all per their personal whims and fancies. They just seem incapable of ever removing themselves from the equation and, well, doing a detached, professional job. It never seems to move beyond Personal Growth and Validation with them.

...

The field that frightens me most is the law. All of us depend on a functioning legal system, and, to be blunt, the rule of law will not survive the legal profession becoming majority female. The rule of law is not just about writing rules down. It means following them even when they yield an outcome that tug at your heartstrings or runs contrary to your gut sense of which party is more sympathetic.
A feminized legal system might resemble the Title IX courts for sexual assault on college campuses established in 2011 under President Obama. These proceedings were governed by written rules and so technically could be said to operate under the rule of law. But they lacked many of the safeguards that our legal system holds sacred, such as the right to confront your accuser, the right to know what crime you are accused of, and the fundamental concept that guilt should depend on objective circumstances knowable by both parties, not in how one party feels about an act in retrospect. These protections were abolished because the people who made these rules sympathized with the accusers, who were mostly women, and not with the accused, who were mostly men.
These two approaches to the law clashed vividly in the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. The masculine position was that, if Christine Blasey Ford can't provide any concrete evidence that she and Kavanaugh were ever in the same room together, her accusations of rape cannot be allowed to ruin his life. The feminine position was that her self-evident emotional response was itself a kind of credibility that the Senate committee must respect.
If the legal profession becomes majority female, I expect to see the ethos of Title IX tribunals and the Kavanaugh hearings spread. Judges will bend the rules for favored groups and enforce them rigorously on disfavored groups, as already occurs to a worrying extent. It was possible to believe back in 1970 that introducing women into the legal profession in large numbers would have only a minor effect. That belief is no longer sustainable. The changes will be massive.

She points out that both men and women agree that law will be transformed by women and how it will be transformed. The only difference is whether or not Girlboss Fiat becoming the only rule in law is a good thing or a bad thing.

The problem is not that women are less talented than men or even that female modes of interaction are inferior in any objective sense. The problem is that female modes of interaction are not well suited to accomplishing the goals of many major institutions.

I don't doubt that many women could do a professionally-detached, "masculine" kind of job in many professions -- if they wanted to.

The problem is, feminism teaches women to despise a professionally-detached, masculine kind of approach to any job. They see it as the Devil's Work. They want to tear down everything and rebuild on feminist, matriarchal, and frankly Marxist first principles.

Andrews turns, finally, to the idea that women just naturally out-competed men to take over the institutions so they should enjoy the fruits of their victory.

That's nonsense, she points out. Women won because they passed laws to guarantee women's victory.

The most obvious thumb on the scale is anti-discrimination law. It is illegal to employ too few women at your company. If women are underrepresented, especially in your higher management, that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. As a result, employers give women jobs and promotions they would not otherwise have gotten simply in order to keep their numbers up.
...
Anti-discrimination law requires that every workplace be feminized....
Women can sue their bosses for running a workplace that feels like a fraternity house, but men can't sue when their workplace feels like a Montessori kindergarten. Naturally employers err on the side of making the office softer. So if women are thriving more in the modern workplace, is that really because they are outcompeting men? Or is it because the rules have been changed to favor them?

Read the whole thing. I've cut a lot of good stuff.

I can't read the whole thing if it has academic language like this. This means: a good portion of women cannot hang in the hard sciences and even those who could don't want to just because.

This is why I always found the "we need more women in STEM" thing so grating. NOTHING is stopping them from going into that world, but them.

I reckon if you are ugly you might as well grow up to be a feminist. There! I said it!

I love males. I understand men. I was telling someone recently about my last job working with "stupid petty women." She laughed at this and said she will now use the acronym SPW to describe this deal. I had enough with that job, that was easy when I was not wanting to kill the SPW. My husband told me to "just quit" and I did forevermore!

Thankful our sons did not marry SPW or I would die.

31 Larry Summers was referring to the well-known phenomenon of women being more clustered to the mean, the average, while men are more spread out along the axes. There are far more mentally retarded men than women -- and also far more geniuses.

It should not surprise us, then, that at the very tippy-top of fields and industries, at the far and skinny ends of the bell curve, we find more men than women.

Feminists' reaction to this very well-known difference in distribution was to shriek about not being able "to breathe."

32 The problem is feminisim not feminization.

Actually, the problem is herd mentality and insecurity which the Dems encourage in many ways; it's a people problem and includes a lot more men that we'd like to admit. Women and minorities have been colonized by the Dems to encourage them to stay in their boxes, rely on victimhood, and fail to succeed.

44 Well one take is that the sexes are complimentary and neither should dominate. There is some truth there. I also feel there is truth in the idea that certain professions are better suited to certain sexes.

Are there certain roles that should be male or female only like CEO.. no. But those jobs should be awarded on merit, not DEI. Company heads and directors must be competent. Too many jobs depend on being able to manage REALITY. Being a checkbox on a diversity chart is not sufficient.

I have long argued that this is a result of the fact that men are less necessary to the propagation of the species than women are. Thus, nature can afford to take more risks with men, because one man can impregnate many women. However, one woman can only have one child (yeah, yeah, octomom).

61 Sometimes I think this is women buying into some of their own stereotypes. I went to an all-girls' school where we didn't have to think about gender differences on a minute-by-minute basis, and we were tough as nails.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 24, 2025 03:18 PM (ldc7S)

I remember watching ABC News with the old man many years ago (don't judge) and they had a segment talking about how boys were evil, and how all-girls schools solved EVERYTHING.

I was young then but even then I thought to myself, if you have nothing but all-girls' schools, you have: nothing but all-boys' schools. That last bit is an outcome no feminist could stomach.

I do feel sorry for anyone in this mine field of potential dating. Similar to taking a live grenade to dinner with someone you don't know well, from a social media site. She might get her pin pulled at any wrong word spoken and insult her!

Then the end of the date where you escape through the bathroom window and leave her with the bill. That's what I would do, anyway. Run! Fast and far!

85 Feminism was the first fork of marxism that became today's neo-marxism. It pushed aside class-focused marxism to expand the power critique into every single persons' life no matter what class they were supposedly apart of. And might be considered the first fork to leverage Western civilization's niceties and civil conventions to acquire unchallengeable power.

102 If the Violent Femmes take over, we all turn into Witches and this happens:

A Spanish town has banned people from adopting black cats during Hallowe’en over fears that the animals could be used for “ritual purposes”.

Officials Terrassa, in north-eastern Catalonia, claimed that there could be a spike in requests to adopt black cats, often associated with witchcraft, during the season by people wishing to use them for sinister purposes.

Noel Duque, the deputy mayor and councillor for animal welfare, said: “We have issued instructions to stop the adoption and fostering of black cats on Hallowe’en.

“This is serious. In Terrassa, if you want to adopt a black cat, it will have to be after Hallowe’en. You will have to prove that you are going to take care of it and love it.”

MODERN feminism. Modern. The original suffragettes would be considered conservative today because they were all pro life. They just wanted a voice in public discourse and equal chances.

Before feminism: women were ground under the boot of society

First wave feminism: women want equal rights and opportunities to men

Second wave feminism: women want superior rights and opportunities to men

Third wave feminism: women want to grind men under the boot of society

Fourth wave: trans women want superior rights and opportunities to women (we are here)

Fifth wave: trans women grind women and men under the boot of society

All part and parcel of the identity politics of the modern progressive left. It's no longer about oppressed class per se, but oppressed identity groups vs the oppressors (straight white men). And the more oppressed identity groups they can create the better, which explains the recent creation of the tranny cult and obesity cult as new oppressed identities.

In 2017 they spun this division off as an LLC and installed 90% female executive leadership with 90% of management positions held by women.

They promptly and efficiently drove the best place to work at Coca-Cola into the fucking ground.

Posted by: Archimedes at October 24, 2025 03:25 PM (Riz8t)

Maybe but throughout the human race everywhere there are more women of average/mean intelligence than men when you look at the "Bell Curve".

And more men at both the stupid end and the genius end of the Bell Curve than women.

I think this means that Yes, there are more ways for men to be reproductively successful but for women there is only one way and that is to insure that their by nature limited number of offspring reach reproductive age and that requires not a stupid woman, not a genius woman but a sensible woman of average intelligence.

That doesn't mean that there can't be very stupid women or very intelligent women. It just means that these traits provide no benefit.

131 This all started with those women burning their bras. I was too young to wear a bra at the time, if memory serves.

Then my mother told me to always wear a bra, which I adhered to except with tube tops (which were mentioned somewhere today). Like a true Moron I once wore one with Daisy Dukes on a motorcycle and then burned my calf getting off. Because the guy, while he did give me a helmet, was a mean turd. Who I stupidly liked, as I admit to being stupid briefly. After the leg burn and no warning I was done with him. I was lucky he did not wreck and leave most of my skin on the pavement.

It all comes down to this, boys. And when it started with abortion clinics and BC pills. Equal rights, because males did not wear bras.

136 My own take here is that men tend to have one-on-one conflicts whereas women tend to call up all of their friends and allies when they have a conflict and get as many people as possible on their side and against their opponent."

There's a good reason for that. You have no fear of one on one conflicts if you are personally confident and feel strong. You have a great fear of one on one conflicts if you have little personal confidence and feel you are weak.

138 Maybe but throughout the human race everywhere there are more women of average/mean intelligence than men when you look at the "Bell Curve".

And more men at both the stupid end and the genius end of the Bell Curve than women.

That was my point. Nature can afford to experiment more with men because any one man is less important to the species. Nature can't take those risks with women.

139 You can see the clear difference between men and women on things as simple as social media. Women will spend the weekend together in their pajamas and call it "forming the bonds of sisterhood". Which is fine, and kind of cute, frankly. But you know how men "form the bonds of brotherhood"? War. that's it. Combat. No men anywhere ever would spend time together in pajamas making mimosas.
Posted by: UGAdawg

There's lots of other ways that men form bonds, maybe not quite "brotherhood", though. Sporting events, Softball leagues (but some are co-ed now), work projects through church (there's a men's group that goes out to do work for people).

But you're right, men are a little more solitary, and don't form those collective groups quite as spontaneously, or willingly, even.

If you can get feminists to address that fact they'll tell you its because women in the 50s/early 60s didn't know how oppressed they were

I do not think of angry NY Jewish girls who have Mommie and Daddy issues cuz their brother was sent to an Ivy League school while they were sent to a lesser schools. Lucille used her whit's and looks and body to gain access to acting. She was successful. She pioneered TV production and ended up building a major studio known today as Paramount. She invested in long term IPs - see Star Trek and Mission Impossible. Those are still money makers. She did this because she knew how to play with the boys on their terms and win. The Lucy's are impressive. The wokesters are handicapped.

230 I work on the board of a pre-school. needless to say, the environment is dominated by women, as it should be. caring and nurturing little kids is something they are massively better at than most men. They make good decisions in that department.

But...they sure as fuck don't run things the way a man would run things. There is a massive loss of ...efficiency in decision making. And a lot of catty fights I get asked to break up. That is literally my role - I'm not in charge, but I am the deciding vote on most things - the women often do what I tell them. Not because I force them, but because they are wracked with indecision and I'm not. I also don't play catty games - they realize they can't socially force me to bend to their will. Because of that all the women ...trust me more than they do each other. I say what I'm saying due to logic and reason, and no because Jessica threatened to call me fat if I didn't go along with her idea.

276 Men tend to be better at compartmentalizing than women, and wokeness was in many ways a society-wide failure to compartmentalize. Traditionally, an individual doctor might have opinions on the political issues of the day but he would regard it as his professional duty to keep those opinions out of the examination room. Now that medicine has become more feminized, doctors wear pins and lanyards expressing views on controversial issues from gay rights to Gaza. They even bring the credibility of their profession to bear on political fads, as when doctors said Black Lives Matter protests could continue in violation of Covid lockdowns because racism was a public health emergency.
--------------
This has happened in spades in medicine and nursing. Nursing has always been a female-dominated profession, and has emphasized different but dare I say *complementary* strengths and skills (caring, nurturing) to medicine's focus on diagnosis and treatment. That's not a put-down of either, the two professions have different but complementary objectives. And up until 10 or so years ago, you didn't see healthcare professionals sporting Pride stickers, Trans pins, and BLM pins.

-never apologize for who you are or where you come from
-you stand on the shoulders of giants. Your grandmothers and great grandmothers sacrificed so we could have a better life. Be a tough as they were.
-lean on your faith when things don't go your way
-don't take any crap from anyone

That specific mindset makes it worse, for sure. But I think this is about women per se and their very different natures, needs, and wants. There isn't a space where the introduction of women doesn't require a wholesale rewrite of the ground rules just so they can exist there, let alone thrive. That may be less recognizable today, well after their introduction into virtually every space.

I was always competing with guys in sports as guys were in my house. In HS I played tennis against one brother and friend and often won altho outnumbered.

I think it is all liberal Dim thinking going all the way back to the burning bra issue, that I mostly thought was stupid and I was a little girl.

I don't like the fact that med schools, etc are now mostly women. And I am a woman. Is this part of DEI? Or grades to get accepted?

I trust men more, because that's been my world. I have a few female friends (those who haven't died or moved out of state as I did). Two are Dim women who are out of state, but they and I know not to talk politics. One is far more women's libby than the other.

338 " the bad guys didn't get the memo."

And that's the heart of our problem. Im not try to glow here LOL Im not advocating some violent direct action, I'm simply pointing out that "violence never solved anything " is a lie. We're all the descendants of conquerors.

But I'm also afraid our "light switch" metaphor is a cope. We will always avoid flipping it because we have become so adverse to violence and the fear of losing control of it (which is likely) means that we will default to doing nothing. For this reason I think we need to explore options (not necessarily violent) between Fire Everything and Do Nothing.

Otherwise we're operating under the illusion that, if necessary, we'll flip the "switch". Its like thinking you have a spare tire when you don't. You accept risks - bumping into curbs, going off road etc that you wouldn't have if you had known there wasn't a spare.

I think this is our Achilles Heel.

341 The problem is, feminism teaches women to despise a professionally-detached, masculine kind of approach to any job. They see it as the Devil's Work. They want to tear down everything and rebuild on feminist, matriarchal, and frankly Marxist first principles.

342 >I don't like the fact that med schools, etc are now mostly women. And I am a woman. Is this part of DEI? Or grades to get accepted?

My son is currently in med school. Just an observation from his white coat ceremony a few years back: 50% - 60% women, 10% some sort of alphabet soup, so maybe 30ish% dudes. Only about 10% straight white dudes - because pale is stale yo.

347 When Summers was pressed on why there weren't more women PHDs in hard sciences he gave a few alternatives to chose from including systematic sexism. That boys tend to be better at math, especially at the high end, was another.

This was the excuse for a female faculty coup that led to Claudine Gay being President, recently removed for plagiarism.

And it ended Harvard students getting autographs from Larry on dollar bills if they already had his name from his stint as Treasury Secretary.

Harvard will never have the same catchet.

351 I hate the qualifying.

Ace posts an article saying the introduction of female mores into society has had a net negative effect because etc.

Everyone is quick to qualify that men are just as bad.

Ok. That is part of the fucking problem- the inability (unwillingness) to define the issue and the need to needlessly qualify.

This is why this keeps happening. Either dispassionately problem solve or grind your axe or cover your ass. Don't try to do all three.

352 Chickification of the Boy Scouts. Even after Boy Scouts (I will not say $******g America) started allowing girls as scouts, they kept the name of the magazine Boys Life. But lo and behold some "young ladies" from England wrote a letter to the editor. They said they enjoyed reading Boys Life m, but felt excluded as "girls" because BOY was in the magazine name. Well how about that, the helpful publisher answered that there would be a surprise in the next few months. And so appeared Scout Life. I think Ace had a term for this, and I've forgotten it. But the publisher wanted to change the name and just needed a good reason. How convenient those young women from England decided to write them a letter!

If I was OpFor that's how I would attack the Right. If you telegraph that you won't attack unless provoked then I can ensure you never attack at all. I would come at you sideways. Like the metaphor about fencing wild pigs. By the time you realized what was happening it would be over.

364 There has been a backlash movement by men the past 5-10 years to bash women, and it’s certainly understandable why this is happening. Close to being half a century in marriage to a wonderful man, who has supported me and our daughters to chase our dreams, as I have encouraged him to chase his, it enrages me to see the popular trend of bashing men, especially older white men. Not a week goes by that I don’t see my husband being mistreated where we live, by female cashiers, managers, tellers, receptionists, etc. He shrugs it off, but I don’t tolerate it and I do call it out. Feminism was hijacked in the 70’s by the woke cult, which also is alive and well in men. The answer is not to bash women. Men and women of like mind need to join forces to end wokeness in all its forms. Men in positions of power have also screwed up big time and have been called out for incompetence. Women should also be called out. Stop laying the blame for everything at the feet of women.

The interview where she told long time NFL graphics people how to do graphic and then asked to be paid $2,000 for her asinine unworkable suggestions is priceless. She wanted to change the word end zone to something that she could more relate to.

I hate to break it to you sugartits, but if your modes of interaction are not suited to accomplishing an organization's goal, they are by definition inferior in an objective sense.

368 I remember mansplaining to two female engineer co-workers the difference in IQ distribution between men and women. Though the mean was about the same, the female distribution was much narrower. This meant that for engineers (IQ >~130) there were two men for each equally qualified woman; the best split, based on ability alone, would mean ~30% women in the field. Mandating a 50% split would mean discriminating against qualified men and discriminating for unqualified women. I stressed that this did not mean men were smarter than women. They both looked like they had discovered a rank soiled diaper, though they were well qualified.

370 The differences in socialization and the approach to social interaction was the subject of Carol Gilligan’s “in a Different Voice”. Girl’s games are about cooperation and breakdown with interpersonal arguments. Boys games are about competition and breakdown down when they don’t agree about the rules (or application of rules).
