Let's not build back in a 'more feminine way'
'Gender neutrality' will not lift people out of poverty
Boris Johnson says he wants to create a ‘more feminine’ world. Speaking at last week’s G7 summit, he said that, post-Covid, countries should be ‘building back greener, building back fairer and building equally, and – how should I put it? – in a more gender-neutral and perhaps a more feminine way’.
Just days later, nightclub and restaurant owners, people who work in theatre, travel, weddings and events, learned they wouldn’t be building back at all – better or otherwise – for the time being. Many businesses simply want to be up and running, and no doubt couldn’t care less whether they are allowed to do so in a feminine, masculine or gender non-binary way.
