Peter Drucker, in his famous essay Managing Oneself, advised strongly the need to understand your strengths and weaknesses, and observed that you can never win by improving your weaknesses, only by improving your strengths. In broader socio-economic terms, we have given women the opportunity to build on their weaknesses (ability to compete against men) and discouraged them from capitalizing on their strengths (youth and fertility). They compete through artifices of fairness and inclusion that are borne on the backs of an ever-dwindling pool of male supporters. We have weakened society as a whole by building on women’s weaknesses in attempts to make them the equal of men, rather than encouraging them in their natural strengths. And while this charade is going on, men are encouraged to adopt feminine attitudes and lifestyles at the expense of their own natural strengths, now deemed unnecessary in the new gender-neutral economy

Having women doing jobs that men can do better, just to fill a quota. This makes the job get done slower or possibly with lower quality. Meanwhile the man is left without a job and the children are raised by the soulless state.

I will assume you speak of service jobs.

In that case, service jobs quality are largely irrelevant to the society. Making your service customer sugarcoat more to you is largely meaningless to the economy m8

this, femininity is capacious enough for power, violence, rapaciousness, whatever you might think you're looking for. masculinity is only a little flavor at the end of everything—unshakable by nature of its utter arbitrariness.

While that's bad for women as individuals I think it's good for people as a whole. Women's strengths are geared towards gaining resources from other humans rather than nature.

Lol people only like that book because the standards for women are incredibly low.
It's like if a monkey made a painting, people wouldn't care if it was shit they would be in awe because it's like "wow, it's actually capable of making a painting" as opposed to the quality of the painting.

Also I think you might have misunderstood OPs question.
