Wokeness arises when institutions become female dominated, because women are biologically hardwired differently to men. By Camus.
Helen Andrews’ provocative thesis: The rise of “wokeness” in 2020 wasn’t random mass hysteria — it was institutions becoming majority-female for the first time.
In this 2:32 clip she argues:
– Women tend to prioritize consensus, relationships, and keeping everyone happy
– Men tend to prioritize facts, rules, and justice
– Wokeness mirrors the former approach applied to power structures
Key timing coincidence:
– Law schools tipped majority-female in 2016
– New York Times workforce majority-female in 2018
– Medical schools, white-collar college-educated workers, and management roles all shifted heavily female in the same window
– 2020 explosion of institutional wokeness followed right behind
She’s not blaming women — she’s saying demographic change in elite institutions created conditions for a new moral style to dominate.

Remember how woke and left-wing Twitter was, and how that stopped when Musk took over and renamed it X?
