I believe you are using the word "effete" incorrectly. I believe you think you know what the word means, but you are wrong.

effete -excessively self-indulgent, affected, or decadent
Pinpoint perfect in defining Meade's bloated self-important style of recitation.

First of all, go out and buy a real unabridged dictionary.
Effete comes from the French effete, meaning, literally, worn out because of childbirth. It is often confused in English to mean "effeminate." It does not mean effeminate to the educated.
Under the real definition, a woman can be effete, a government program could be effete, a wardrobe could be effete, a third world nation could be effete, but not a man.

You should educate the dictionaries about their incorrect usage of 'effete'
The more I study the dictionary definition of "effete" the more it seems to fit Maede's entire being.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/effete
"If you describe someone as effete, you are criticizing them for being weak and powerless.
[formal, disapproval]
...the charming but effete Russian gentry of the 1840s."
https://educalingo.com/en/dic-en/effete
"The first definition of effete in the dictionary is weak, ineffectual, or decadent as a result of overrefinement. Other definition of effete is exhausted of vitality or strength; worn out; spent. Effete is also no longer capable of reproduction."
https://www.etymonline.com/word/effete
effete (adj.)
1620s, "functionless as a result of age or exhaustion," from Latin effetus (usually in fem. effeta) "exhausted, unproductive, worn out (with bearing offspring), past bearing," literally "that has given birth," from a lost verb, *efferi, from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + fetus "childbearing, offspring" (see fetus). Figurative use is earliest in English; literal use is rare. Sense of "intellectually or morally exhausted" (1790) led to that of "decadent, effeminate" (by 1850s).

Meade is so magnificent that the usual constraints and boundaries can't hold him. "Effete" is usually reserved for a woman but is occasionally used for men like Meade.
The same is true for the word 'busty'!

A lot better than his poetry reading. Meade could be passable as a voice character actor. Perhaps he should contact Ken Burns?

You think the Good 'ol boys in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia were large slave holders? Think again. They were just trying to defend their homes from the menace of the Federal terrorist.

No one thinks that the 13-year-old boys the confederates conscripted into their army owned slaves.
