Do MAGA not realize that cancelling DEI will greatly affect women’s careers?

[Anonymous]

This thread is so dumb. Women don’t need DEI initiatives to succeed in the workplace.

The end of telework, on the other hand, will force many women out….

Oh it’s totally targeted at Black people but nobody is will say it out loud.

It’s like you’ve never worked in corporate America.

What do you do?

As a woman in the private sector, I have no problem with it being gone. Not that I want anyone to lose their jobs though. I hope they can be reassigned.

You were probably hired because your company had to have a quota of hires that are not just white males.

This comment is why it’s best to phase out the idea of quotas and DEI. It negatively impacts women and the concept is embarrassing to me, as a woman. Perhaps different categories that fall under DEI have a better experience and they can stay in it. I’d like women out.

I have a DD. She'll need to be flexible in planning her career. Plan for work thst will be attractive to other countries (Some csreers work better than others.) The environment that is best for her may not be her in the U.S.

Depends I know, but that possibility is real

Yeah, I’m definitely sending my DD to a college overseas.

But I’m just shocked that MAGA women don’t realize that they voted against themselves and their daughters.

A lot of them didn't vote against themselves though - many of my neighbors don't really want to work, they'd much rather stay home and take care of their husbands kids and homes. The 1950's nostalgia is real among those born 1990-. This of course does not apply to women of color who should continue to be our nurses and nannies and work in fast food and retail. [NOTE this is not how I think but we're blind if we don't see this in suburbia every day]

I take issue with the conflation of SAHMs and not caring about women’s rights.

I can CHOOSE to stay home and take care of my family while being cognizant of and grateful for the fact that it is a CHOICE. There are undoubtedly more highly paid working women than housewives who voted for this BS administration because 1) their husbands make even more than they do so they defer to them, and/or 2) they hate paying taxes as much as your average man.

As a woman, I don't need DEI to advance my career- just merit.

That is probably why they just rescinded all the directives, since they accidentally targeted more than black people--they are going to rewrite them accordingly to ensure white women and veterans and possibly Asians and the disabled are not harmed.

but do you know how hard it was for women to get hired before DEI or promoted?

I'd bet every woman on this thread started her career before she ever heard the term DEI.

Well not really because it was the civil right act .., dei is no different

Then why have both?

And that's not even getting into the stories my mom has told me from the 70s and 80s. She was straight up questioned in interviews if she was going to get pregnant. My mom has a PhD, one she finished while my oldest sibling was a baby.

Isn't that part of the plan?

Hey now, at least black women remain the only group we can’t be mad at for this current situation. But unfortunately you’ll once again suffer the consequences of everyone else’s stupidity (along with the rest of us).

Wow.

Do you not know hard it was for a woman to get hired into a high paying jobs before DEI?

Do you not know that they only promoted white males?

Do you not know that the academia was primarily white males?

I work in tech and in my company I’m the only woman across all the US teams.

In my circle of friends most women are either SAMs ot work low paying jobs. Very few women I know have highly paid jobs.

Odd because I know a lot of women with great high-paying jobs. I’ve always out-earned my white male husband. If you really think the only way for a woman to make it is to be prioritized as a woman rather than based on merit, you must view women as fundamentally incapable of competing on their own. On that point, you’re wrong.
