Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

<< < (5/76) > >>

Simon:
As Jordan Paterson puts it: Men are interested in things and women are interested in people. Some will try to use the excuse that it is upbringing that forces women to choose certain roles, I think that reasoning is outdated. Yes some women will be interested in tech but it's just a matter of whatever you want to call it that most are more interested in other things. Of course we have a few notable cases of renowned women it tech that turned out to be con artists whilst celebrating them being women in tech. I bet the interviewers of Elizabeth Holmes are felling rather stupid, or are just too stupid to see that they were had.

Use of the word "equity" rather than "equality" is very deliberate, many people do not know the difference but they mean very different things. DEI is an entire industry in itself these days, and it is an openly sexist and racist industry that is anything but inclusive. It is pushed by the people that are obsessed with identity politics and value group membership above individuality. As an individual first and member of various groups *very* distant second, I loathe this mentality. These people are absolutely obsessed with race and gender and everything else that divides us, they will freely and openly discriminate in order to try to force equality of outcome. I too am afraid to even mention any of this at work, because I know I will be labeled and discriminated against for merely questioning the narrative.

I'm honestly in fear that if I raised it in work with HR I would get disciplined.

There are only two options:

1) If you are not happy with the policies at work and/or the movement in society in this direction then you have to speak up about it. Yes, you may get disciplined, be outright fired, or secretly demoted and
have your life made more difficult until you quit. But that seems to be the price paid these days. Even when explicitly asked for your feedback on the topic, look at what happened to James Damore. You can try and do this delicately or forcefully of course, IME it doesn't seem to make much difference to the outcome, but it may.

2) Don't say a thing and live with it. Changing jobs may not help, it's very pervasive these days, especially in larger organisations.

Pick your poison.

Yep.

And as always, there is ultimately just one question to ask: who exactly benefits from this whole movement?
The answers may not be all that pleasing.

magic:
Men benefit from feminism because even feminists admit that men rule the world.
If you don't benefit from feminism, perhaps you aren't man enough ;)
