Yo.

I think a lot of it is just randomness, and what looks like a bunch of things that could collectively be taken as branches of one specific agenda, a lot of them have nothing to do with each other in reality but only appear to based on how the author has categorized his post.

Most of these sort of things are just a result of individuals looking to maximize their utility. In the case of corporations, do what they can to make more money - pushing the female empowerment idea is a sure way for them to achieve this. In the case of politicians, do whatever it takes to get elected - could also follow the same thing that a corporation does even if there is no link. Or they could be bought out and there is a link. I think its unlikely they are altogether planned for some grand conspiracy, but the idea itself is cool and I think its great that we can have a discussion about this stuff.

Author gives people way too much credit for being so clever, which is probably some projection of himself into his writing because to me he appears to be a very deep, analytical thinker. Most of us are just going off whims on what we think is right without really breaking it down to a science and he is probably overlooking this.
