“this could help women and minorities” included in many unrelated grants requests

I wonder if anyone's ever tried to point out that men are a minority in America?

"this could help women and minorities" = "this could help everyone but straight white men"

I’m so glad that I was born rich, because every man is born ultra rich and has absolutely zero adversity in their life.

equality for thee but not for me

Let me quote from a feminist article that talks about how the feminist movement hijacked the DV fields for ideological purposes :

The feminist case for acknowledging women's acts of violence

While the movement deploys gender-neutral language of “spouse,” “partner,” etc., the gendered frame still dominates.53 Service providers still use gender as a proxy for distinguishing between victims and perpetrators, for example

I don't think that the simple "we will do outreach to minorities" sentences are necessarily as "neutral" and "just for show" as Scott wishes them to be.

Certainly, some of them are.

But this kind of approach is like a cancer, and cancer treatment also impacts healthy cells in the process, because we really don't want some of the cancerous ones to remain, only to come back later.

And so, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You bent the knee to the dominant doxa, you get the boot. Good riddance. Let the people be afraid to be caught promoting this kind of things for a while and signal to everyone in administration that this kind of BS won't fly. Hopefully, it will incite people to actually stand up to the woke bullies.

Score points in a job interview when the HR agents are 90% white women.

I believe diversity has benefits. I believe that offsetting historic treatment of specific minorities helps counter the latent effects holding them back from equality. I don't understand why white women were included in this list?

So if reviewers were just getting points in their grants because they would help white women perpetuate their privilege then that's bad.

It would have been better if we just canceled grants that help white women so that we can help the underprivileged instead.
