TL;DR: There is no issue with Colbert.
I hate when women, arguing for more female inclusion, feel they must always lie in their titles. It doesn't inspire confidence but does inspire frustration. This is an article about the eternal feminist goal of wanting to "cherry-pick the good jobs instead of all jobs" and I assume its still not admitted that feminists always instinctively phrase this passive-voice declarative nagging to a male audience not women because they assume it will work emotionally on men whereas uninvolved women just ignore it?
Yes, a female host would be expected to be seen in control of the stage and timing. I wouldn't argue that Amy Schumer couldn't do this with just women, but women tend to submit to male advances and outbursts regardless of their acceptability. Female chess players play worse against men, solve that and you solve this! Women just submit to men instinctively and it shouldn't be remotely this way. However the solution isn't to let it run off the rails and then cry helplessness, which is what usually happens.
Male playful banter to men and women is more defined culturally, feminists could kill two birds with one stone here and invent female playful banter whole cloth here. It would need to be because when have you ever heard a woman joke about not understanding a topic? I can remember hundreds of time Conan wouldn't know about specific knowledge like installing a supercharger, but he turns it into a joke to manage the guest into speaking less jargon or explaining more thoroughly. That takes a very confidant woman and they tend to be heavily seductive because you can control men very well that way, that boundary needs to be pushed out more.
Wide-eyed smiling vulnerability with a back-handed tap to our shoulders is how women have responded to this issue on a personal level, however that is again working with what people want and only male hosts can do that for some reason. Hillary Clinton is your best or only example? Then you're fucked, shes a lawyer and acts the part to the annoyance of everyone.
To be blunt, women talk to male strangers hesitantly, passively expecting her approval to be the only thing she needs to add to the conversation. Buy men drinks and see what that dynamic is, that's the "taking charge" tone you need to take. Also, this is around instance #9827 where men accuse feminists of cutting corners or eating their cake yet saving it too.
The universe isn't fair, that's why civilization exists to make it fair. If you're wondering how that's a valid response, than you aren't aware how incredibly passive-voice this statement is. The Male-Female banter needs to be more equally active for female leaders to succeed, stop cutting corners and trying to start at the finish line.
