Got it. My bad. I improperly combined your comment with the criticisms of Baumeister I read that disagreed with him but didn't say why. Sorry about that.
By the way, I meant normative means they want to change it, whereas positivist would be merely describing a system. Baumeister seems more positivist.
I definitely agree that Baumeister didn't engage with feminist talk on this issue. I think he was responding to public discourses on issues like wage gaps, which don't necessarily correspond to more nuanced feminist narratives.
