This isn't New New but it is Interesting that it is a common framework of understanding the world (much as Everything Was Psychoanalysis from Freud - 1960) even by people who would reject the intellectual traditions which identified and popularized it. We are all living in Butler's World.
Not to express my Judith Butler brain disease, but a tremendous disconnect in American society is created by the conflation of sex, sexuality, and gender and the view they are a product of traits that are simultaneously essential and pure social performance which must be constantly upheld.
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Before people believe that this is an evil of a particular sector, the same thing has happened in finance, and probably reflects the larger trend of more people getting undergraduate degrees.
one of the things i objected to most at at GOOG over the years, from the labor perspective, is the slow decay of the blue-collar routes up into corp. you used to encounter guys who started out swapping drives in 120 degree heat in the hot aisles and who were now SREs, and that's gone.
Yes. I probably could have put it better in the original post and tried to clarify in the next one

Probably not a new realization but there are two definitions of elite:
A place where decisions are made that I cannot access because I do not have the right type of power.
Vs
A place where decisions are made that I am not given deference because of my power.
