Yeah there's a few red flags here that belie the problem with this piece.
Women emphasize "empathy over rationality" ... what a strange dichotomy. As if empathy could not be rational, or rational thought automatically leads to dis-empathy.
She asserts that feminine culture emphasizes cohesion, but then brings up a biracial (what's the point of this note?) reporter at the NYT not having coffee with Bari Weiss and says that this snub is "feminine". What? Are woman about cohesion or not? The previous graph would assert that colleagues would have coffee to not hurt each others' feelings, but then she claims the backhanded animosity ALSO as feminine.
I think a lot of what she attributes to male/female is actually scarcity/plenty. Even if you attribute rationality to men (which I question) that trait is probably only exhibited when you feel confident in your person. That the pathological state is not excessive femininity but that masculinity and femininity both have pathological states that can be exacerbated by scarcity.
Like the ICE raids clearly not are not an appeal to rationality, they’re an appeal to fear, and that fear is created by a real or imagined sense of scarcity.

Make up your mind, woman.
