Instead of blaming 'feminization' for tech stagnation, advocates should frame AI, autonomous vehicles, and nuclear as tools that increase women’s safety, autonomy, and time—continuing a long history of technologies (e.g., contraception, household appliances) expanding women’s freedom. Tailoring techno‑optimist messaging to these tangible benefits can reduce gender‑based resistance to new tech. — If pro‑tech coalitions win women by emphasizing practical liberation benefits, public acceptance of AI and pro‑energy policy could shift without culture‑war escalation.
