I would agree with the assessment that DEI should not be used for firefighting, secret service, military, etc. But not only that; it should not be used in any field whatsoever, as it is discriminatory.

We saw it first used in academia (it was called affirmative action then) and I don't think higher education has benefited from it. In fact, quite the opposite: now all areas of academia are infected with intersectional feminist ideology and "decolonizing" nonsense.

As for the "dirty and dangerous" jobs done almost exclusively by men, women don't want those jobs and they are ill-suited for them. I saw a woman on a construction site doing masonry as an assistant. She was stronger than the usual woman but she didn't last more than three days - which is far longer than most women would have lasted (I can imagine 20 minutes as the upper end for most). This is because it requires a lot of physical strength and endurance. And she was slower than the men for that very reason.

Now DEI is common in the workplace, causing huge problems with often false sexual harassment allegations, done for financial gain or to vindictively hurt men as a group. A meritocracy is far better. It is what built Western civilization; we abandon it at our peril. The only systemic racism and sexism in the West today is affirmative action/DEI hiring. Qualified men have sued governments over this and more should do so. There needs to be a massive backlash.

Some will say, but what of the IDF? They have women soldiers. Yes, they do, but women in the IDF are excluded from frontline combat roles." There is a recognition that men do better in that particular role.

I hope to live to see the day that cultural Marxism, DEI, CRT, ESG and all this other nonsense is done away with and our society can start to heal and correct its course. Men and women are different and have evolved to have different strengths. The strengths of women should be honored of course, and valued, as they traditionally have been, at least in Western civilization. Ironically, putting women in positions they're not suited for actually devalues them by trying to make them into men.
