Kinda gets it half right. What it misses is that orgs crank up the natural “masculinity” knob because they haven’t built any alt mechanisms to encourage smarter risk-taking. It can in fact backfire (“masculinity contest” of risk aversion, as in “blue-lives-matter-more policing)https://twitter.com/HarvardBiz/status/1070920917256208384 …

In a way, looking at this issue from a gender/diversity perspective unnecessarily muddies things. The article gets that right. Stereotypical masculinity is an adaptive trait for *human* orgs. Trying to curb it to fix gender or majority-minority relations is misguided.

...kinda like changing basketball rules to improve tall people/short people relations is misguided. You just need more sports that suit more body types. Analogy doesn’t work that well though, since no modern work is as precise a fit to “masculinity” as basketball is to “tallness”
