The controversial conservative commentator Daniella Pentsak joined me to discuss the impact of women on higher education and the changing nature of academic discourse. Pentsak argued that as more women enter academia, it is promoting an anti-meritocratic environment that stifles open debate and privileges inclusion over quality education. We explored how this female competition style, which aims to socially ostracise rather than directly engage with opposing viewpoints, is damaging the intellectual caliber of universities.
