Um. Postmodern nonsense. The problem is, that the more power you have the more empirical you must be, and the less, and less empathy you must rely on. People do not put you in charge because you have the ‘trivial’ skill of empathy. The put you in charge because you have the ‘rare’ skill of insulating yourself from noise and limiting yourself to signal. We have known this even before brain imaging gave us the photos of it. Just as we have known that say, conservatives have more hypothalamic activity (fear, purity, disgust, loyalty) and progressives less. Just as we have known that men and women illustrate their preferences differently – feminine for aesthetic openness and masculine for idea-openness. In other words, feelz vs reals. Or in more evolutionary terms, tools vs consumption.

The strangeness of these studies (and the method of identifying feminine or postmodern thought) is the freudian (vs Nietzschean) presumption of an ideal uniform monopoly (feminine) character, rather than hierarchical distributed market (masculine) character.

I mean. you know. If it wasn’t for the marxists, feminists, and postmodernists we wouldn’t have lost a century in the pseudo-sciences. sigh.
