Back in 2022, an author using the pseudonym “J.Stone”, published a book with the title above. An e-book is available on Amazon.

The book has attracted much attention in recent weeks, thanks to conservative political commentator Helen Andrews. She writes:

Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis, which the same author later elaborated upon at book length: Everything you think of as “wokeness” is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.

The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. How did I not see it before?

From the book’s blurb:

One of the greatest civilizational upheavals in human history is underway. In the past sixty-odd years, women have moved en masse into public life alongside men, ultimately achieving parity and even supremacy in many culturally influential institutions and professions. This degree of female cultural ascendancy has never been seen before in any large civilization. And it represents much more than a personnel change. Women have brought with them into public life their distinctive ways of thinking: their greater emotional sensitivity and alertness to harm, their strong capacity for compassion, their deep aversion to toxins, their lesser affinity for free speech, and their superior sociality–and susceptibility to social contagions. Women’s new power has thus brought dramatic social change – change that has not been all good.

In The Great Feminization, the writer J. Stone, who has been publishing essays about cultural feminization for more than a decade, explores the consequences and possible outcomes of this historic cultural shift.

Men and women are different

I had once assumed that innate differences between men and women in behavior and policy preferences were mostly small in relation to the human capacity for learning new ways of thinking. However, relevant events shifted me towards the stronger view that men and women are apt to differ profoundly in their psychology and cognitive functioning – which implies that women’s cultural ascendancy must bring profound change. The “relevant event” that did more than any other to shape this view of mine was the Larry Summers cancellation, a brief but fateful episode in American social history that played out in early 2005.

The women who had power over Summers – women who represented the new, Inquisitional regime in Western culture and politics – signaled on that day that they would never be satisfied with “mans-planations,” however logical, that contradict their dogmas or otherwise wound their feelings.
