“Today, women and men compete for power on more playing fields than at any point in modern history. And those playing fields are more level. And yet, this doesn’t explain feminist backlash. Far too little has actually changed to justify this level of collective freak-out. The field is still far from even. Maleness still confers a tremendous power and status advantage. Men continue to dominate the upper echelons of nearly every important institution in existence. Being male is power, at least by any cogent, useful, and comprehensive definition of either term. To help explain things, I want to point to three facts about people: 1. People care much more about losses than gains … 2. Men care more about power and status than women … 3. People notice changes far more than they notice defaults.” (07/07/25)
