Part 8/11:
When addressing how society might reverse or mitigate these trends, Andrews proposes a third way—a return to gender-neutral fairness and meritocratic principles. She advocates for dismantling policies and legal protections that artificially favor women, such as quotas and diversity targets, which she believes have artificially feminized the workforce.
Her solution involves eliminating preferences and legal protections that have contributed to this feminization, allowing institutions to function on principles of merit rather than identity-driven quotas. Andrews insists this approach clarifies that "fairness" does not mean equal representation but equality of opportunity based on ability, regardless of gender.
