From the Financial Times:

Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at “woke doctrine” and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

And Zuckerberg:

“Masculine energy is good, and obviously, society has plenty of that, but I think corporate culture was really trying to get away from it,” Zuckerberg continued. “I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive.”

Jeff Tiedrich's response:

what the fuck is Zuck gibbering about? apparently he’s confused, and is equating masculinity with aggression. it’s not. being an aggressive asshole is not ‘masculine energy.’ it’s called being a dick.
