My guest today is Amy Wax, Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Amy is both a legal scholar and medical scholar, with dual specialties in both neurology and social welfare law.
We spoke today about the feminisation of public life, particularly of the academy, and debated whether or not we can design mixed-sex institutions to successfully withstand both masculine and feminine styles of misbehaviour. We also spoke about conservative political movements that have historically been led by women – particularly Prohibition – and whether we can really blame wokeness on women.
In the extended part of the episode, we also spoke about advice that parents and grandparents ought to offer, and whether or not strong free speech protections were a quirk of the late twentieth century West that are now unattainable.
00:19 The feminisation of the academy and wider culture
06:54 Advantages to the feminisation of institutions
09:40 Women’s power over men
14:30 How to have functional mixed-sex institutions
22:40 Destigmatisation of homosexuality
26:20 Female-led Conservative movement
33:33 Should there be fewer women at university?
40:55 Generational priorities
47:50 How to return to a more masculine public life
