Hearing the term immediately leads me to reflect on my friend Lynne's conception of what is often paralysing use of binaries - of the need to investigate fully what is the meaning of not just girly and manly as adjectives, but (and to me more importantly), 'girly man economics' vs 'non-girly man economics'.
Checking through the twittersphere, it seems most tweets related to the former binary, Only one provided a sense of the latter ... with perhaps one incorporating the latter. I have real concerns about the approbation of 'non-girlie man' or 'manly' economics, which would appear to be equated with neo-conservative economics conflated with financial accounting; the denigrating of a more wholistic conception of economics, which may be what Cormann means by 'girlie man' economics.
