Won’t female advantages in “EQ” stop translating into career advantages once intelligent machines learn how to duplicate those traits?
Is there any reason to assume AIs will be forever incapable of at least convincingly faking emotional warmth and compassion?

I think AIs will one day be able to replicate those emotions, and it will have an effect on their economic value, but it won’t be capable of 100% substitute, because people will still know that they are dealing with a machine, or a human, and they won’t value them the same.
