      One thing I would like to understand is the process by which a publication like GQ becomes staffed with female feminist writers. Imagine Elle becoming staffed with middle-aged men writing mostly about lawn barbecue.

      As a former journalist, I can help. Journalism, as most smart men realised about 10yrs ago, is a dying industry. Men don’t go into it. Women tend to be interested in writing & take the courses to become journalists (which are not intellectually demanding).

          Titles like GQ are almost dead, and they’ve been bought up by large corporations who are just trying to wring whatever residual value is left in the brand before it disappears completely. They do this with conference, side products etc to make up for the lost ad revenue.

          The large corporations tend to hire in a very pedestrian way, particularly people with the right qualifications and that means they hire girls who have been indoctrinated into ideas like feminism and who just toe the line. The corp just wants content. They don’t care.

          They know the brand is going to vanish shortly, and the bureaucracy doesn’t understand the readership anyway. The girls who also go to work on titles like GQ to interview and meet high value men (meet potential husbands, basically). That’s how you end up with the odd content.

          Encouraging to hear that this has more to do with lack of care and incompetence rather than with active malice!

          Changing industry and a perverse incentive structure. Large corporations also genuinely believe in “equality, diversity, and inclusion” and this just seeps into the product ‘cause you have to mouth the platitudes to exist there. Most of these brands will be dead in 10yrs.

          I also think a lot of this also has to do with the fact that nearly entire media-industrial complex lives in Brooklyn, NY.

          I live in the UK so I don’t know, although that’s what I hear. We have an equivalent called Dalston in London. Journalists are also highly imitative people & don’t tend to think for themselves (it’s a social job attracts that type) so they just do what everyone else does.
