It's all about avoiding the liability, being sued or becoming a evening story line on CNN of promoting a hostile work environment.

For those who find DEI to be problematic, this should be considered. It is too easy to blame "the woke" for DEI. However, since we are talking about the culture of belonging, this is what we should look at. Why did DEI get formed in the first place? Why do we have people who don't feel they are included in society in the first place?

Exactly. People don't change their mind by force. And its true that women are more expensive to employ than men, so people should be able to make that choice on their own.

Because we've been coddling children for a couple generations now and they are finally getting into positions of power.

Also, democrats have found a very profitable business model exploiting victimhood in their potential voters.

If you were hired, you are included. You were hired to do a job, not to "belong". If you are a part of society, you are included. You don't need a personalized invitation.

"Belonging"?

I thought the wokes were against slavery. Oh, excuse me... I guess it is just certain types of slavery and certain skin colors that they are against.

Wokies are about compliance to their immoral beliefs.

Something else I have noticed is newspapers showing a picture of someone, a woman walking perhaps, as filler for the page (not related to a story) and she will be described in the caption as "a community member".

This could be to avoid "misgendering" or it could be a subtle way of stressing "belonging" under cultural Marxist unity.

Which is funny because for two years during COVID, community was cancelled.

And, what if the woman doesn't want to be part of a community?

She is walking alone, right?
