The hysterical commentators warning that women are destroying civilisation really need to man up. Alas, male victimhood is a rich seam.
The fear that women are conspiring against men online, voting with our hormones, capturing institutions and, naturally, causing wokeism is almost irresistibly appealing
Academia was once a man’s game. Most early American universities were founded as training academies for clergy and other professional men. But the tide turned quickly. Women have received the majority of American undergraduate degrees every year since 1982, master’s degrees since 1987, and doctorates since 2006.
We are undergoing a profound transformation: artificial intelligence is redefining industries, work models are changing rapidly and organizations are facing unprecedented pressure to innovate in order to survive.
In this context, the question is no longer just how many women participate in the economy or in leadership positions.
The strategic question is another:
What kind of innovation are we building and who is defining its direction?
You know the feeling: you wake up “fine,” but not full. You can function, but you’re not fueled. You have capacity, but not vitality
ow do modern-day moms really feel? It’s a question almost no one in positions of cultural power actually takes the time to ask. We hear endless talk about closing the “gender pay gap,” designing workplace policies to shove mothers back into offices, and celebrating women who “do it all.” But when was the last time anyone paused, looked a mother in the eye, and listened to how she feels about the relentless messaging that motherhood is somehow lesser?
Maternal instinct, or any instinct really, is biological and automatic- Maternal intuition, on the other hand, is different. Intuition comes from experience, memory, and attention. It’s developed over time, and allows mothers to read and respond to a given situation without having to take the time to reason through options. But at some point in history, in conjunction with industrialization, advances in childhood technologies, and the institutionalization of childhood, intuition in large part ceased to be passed down.
