I mean, it's an interesting thought experiment, but it doesn't seem to have any explanation for the current tide-receding status of "wokeness". If anything the rise to renewed prominence of people like Trump and Musk (both of whom have gone through multiple wives) should cause increased anxiety about fidelity which would lead to increased "feminization", but it doesn't look that way to me. The last five years seem to have shown a downwards trend; the phenomenon he refers to peaked somewhere around 2020.

Subtly yet strongly bogus. Being sympathetic to women is not "feminized". Author is attempting to argue that being civilized, observing decorum, is not masculine.

[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminized]

feminized adjective fem· i· nized ˈfe-mə-ˌnīzd : made feminine or more feminine … the crucial influence of gay subculture on every style from the Teds [=teddy boys] to the 'feminized New Man' of the late 1980s has been thoroughly discussed … —Margaret Sarkissian : notably female or feminine in quality or character
