I think we need to start publicly calling out the one-sided diversity programs for what they are: supremacist to their core.
I see so many young men today pushed out of STEM fields to supposedly make those professions stronger, but where do those inexperienced and unskilled men then find work? Certainly not in education or nursing or veterinary care, where "men have nothing new to offer that isn't already being met by women" (and that's an actual quote from those who control the hiring practices there...so much for that "diversity is our strength" motto when it comes to those professions I guess). The long-term trend in ratios of men to women in those female-dominated careers has actually only gotten worse for men as these diversity programs to fix male-dominated jobs have become entrenched everywhere. So men are not welcome in the fields they tend to gravitate towards, and they're not welcome in the fields that they might be able to enjoy, but that don't pique their interest as much. And unfortunately those young men hoping to become a programmer or a scientist instead end up unemployed, or they are forced to fight for the few menial, physical, low skilled, low wage, and sometimes even dangerous, jobs that remain (and no one cares if those are dominated by males...for some strange reason).
I can draw so many parallels with what is happening right now to the historical justifications by white supremacists in the US in the mid-twentieth century. Those supremacists never outright said that other groups were inferior, at least not publicly. Their PR instead claimed that society was "better off" if – for example – the schools remained segregated, because both groups would somehow "magically benefit" from that situation. Does this rhetoric sound familiar? We're told to just ignore the obvious economic and social disparities being created, because it's for the good of everyone and it will all just work out without the need for any direct funding, support, etc, to balance things out, don't you see?
I mean, some countries have even created a legal definition of "historically marginalized groups" that officially places men into a category of second-class citizen and judges them as inferior. It's so blatant in some ways that it almost feels insane to say it.
Diversity that only works in one direction is just supremacy. Nothing more.
