We're Fierce, We're Feminists, and We're in Your Face

Feminism and cancel culture and the feminization of society.
https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-great-feminization/
The author stressed the passive aggressive nature of women as the root of cancel culture and the rest a bit too much and ignores the strategic value, indeed the genesis of it being rooted in a pragmatic approach to getting women on board with a brutal social censorship by appealing to basic feminine impulses. (In their own social circles women are often jockeying for position and punish apostates with censorship or banishment fairly often.)
I remember my colege days and there were sociologists and English profs and pychologists pushing this sort of anti-rationalism and feminization of our culture that far back.
At any rate it's an intrigueing premise
FTA:
Read the whole essay; it makes good points.

The basic facts of the Larry 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.
