Nice detailed thread with results posted and excellent commentary on our DEI paper. FWIW, Kendi has called it "pseudoscience," "racist," and said it "misrepresents my work" (even though we quoted it exactly in our materials).

Maintaining FIRE's non-partisan bona fides through increasingly polarized times has been challenging. But here are a few of things we've learned along the way that have helped. eternallyradicalidea.com/p/more-tips-fo…

Smash the matriarchy. Way fewer women imprisoned, showing systemic anti-male bias throughout the criminal justice system. There is a large "gap" in academic achievement (F>M) from first grade through grad school. Academic hiring is biased in favor of women. Women get equal pay
