Helen Andrews drops a provocative thesis: Feminization = wokeness.
Everything we call "woke"—empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition, inclusion over free speech—is just the natural outcome of institutions becoming majority-female since the 1970s.
She points to surveys: ~2/3 men prioritize free speech, ~2/3 women prioritize inclusive society. Men lean "ethics of justice" (rules/facts), women "ethics of caring" (context/relationships/emotions).
Examples: James Damore fired not for facts but because it made women "feel bad." Kavanaugh hearings: masculine side demanded evidence, feminine side focused on "she's crying."
Her take: When women predominate, politics/institutions tilt toward subjective feelings over objective rules—even if many women reject it (e.g., best Kavanaugh books by women critics).
This 2:46 clip is bold, polarizing, and ties demographic shifts to cultural ones.
Agree it's a key driver of wokeness? Or overreach? What's your read on the gender gaps in free speech/inclusion polls?

MASSIVE LIABILITY: Tuesday morning, another INFERNO at the King St. #Chinatown-ID homeless encampment. This is same @WSDOT property that's now been scene of nearly a dozen fires this month alone. In my 20+ year journalism career, I have never witnessed so many elected officials fail a community like this. Asian American immigrant biz owners continue to be victimized. High school students at Summit Sierra are now walking home past this disaster.
@KC_RHA CEO Marc Dones continues to offer no timeline on when it will be cleared.
@CMTammyMorales being called out again for being MIA. Kim Nguyen owns Vuu's Beauty School right next to this dangerous encampment. Nguyen is challenging Tammy Morales to show up for her CID community.
