This part in particular was thought-provoking.

"Feminine norms" are at least partially rooted in female psychology, but they're also just an adaption to being on the more-in-demand side of a competitive market with non-fixed supply, that thrives on impulsivity.

Emotional labor will be easier to automate than intellectual labor. AIs are already better than the median therapist (and maybe better than the 95th percentile therapist).
