In this episode of The Deep, Erika responds to a recent viral article by Helen Andrews titled "The Great Feminization." Andrews claims that the increasing number of women holding positions in institutions has directly led to those institutions becoming "woke." But is Andrews missing the point? Is it true that women caused wokeism? Or is the real explanation something deeper?
