1. DEI como una amenaza directa a la jerarquía establecida.
Esta sección recopila citas que enmarcan las iniciativas DEI como un desafío directo al orden social y de poder existente, específicamente al "patriarcado blanco", que posiciona a los hombres blancos cisgénero en la cima de la jerarquía.
- Dei is a threat to the white male dominated patriarchy. That’s why republicans hate it so much.
- Let me break it down clearly the opposition to dei: it’s white supremacy and patriarchy. Systems of oppression require a hierarchy with someone at the top, and others under them. Right now our system puts white straight men at the top of the hierarchy and dei threatens that position. 1/2.
- Dei was created to confront and replace white patriarchy, if you get rid of it then that is exactly what you will get. For a lot of people this explains why they have been so resistant for so long.
- Yeah that’s exactly what i was thinking too. To the patriarchy, dei is a threat.
2. "Anti-DEI" como un código para restaurar el antiguo orden.
Las siguientes publicaciones interpretan la retórica "anti-DEI" no como una crítica a políticas específicas, sino como un eufemismo o "silbato de perro" para reinstaurar la supremacía masculina blanca y revertir el progreso en materia de igualdad.
- Exactly when they say they are removing dei hires what they mean is they are restoring the white patriarchy.
- Can i just say the whole dei thing they're pounding on right now is code for "keep white patriarchy at top of the pecking order?" in other words, they're trying to stuff something back in the bottle that is not going back.
- It's clear that this isn't about dei at all—it's about reinstating the patriarchy and suppressing women and minorities.
- This dei purge is all about the attempt to reestablish the social hegemony of white christian patriarchy. Ultimately, it will fail, because most of the nation is not on board with this.
3. La falsa meritocracia y el miedo a la competencia.
Aquí se argumenta que el discurso de la "meritocracia" utilizado por los opositores de DEI es una falacia que oculta un sistema sesgado. Se postula que el verdadero temor es a la competencia equitativa, donde el privilegio de raza y género ya no es una ventaja decisiva.
- Mediocre white men hate dei because it prioritizes merit above white patriarchy. They’re mad because their efforts to hold the rest of us down are failing.
- There is no "meritocracy" under white supremacy or patriarchy. Bias is the default. "affirmative action" programs are about one day achieving meritocracy unbiased by identity-based systemic exclusion.
- Hell yes. They want to claim we had a meritocracy and dei fucked it up but it’s a lie. What we had was a white supremacist patriarchy giving power to its own. Diversity is a recognition that merit is not demographically concentrated.
- She right. The ones whining the most about dei would have zero chance of being hired unless white patriarchy rules. They can’t compete so they blame minorities. Losers.
4. El impacto inclusivo de DEI y la afectación a las mujeres.
Estas citas señalan que la lucha contra DEI no solo afecta a las minorías raciales, sino también a las mujeres, incluidas las mujeres blancas, quienes son vistas como beneficiarias de estas políticas dentro de una estructura patriarcal. Se subraya que la eliminación de DEI perjudica a todos los grupos no dominantes.
- All women are dei hires, every single one. The only people who are not dei hires are white, heterosexual, protestant men. White men who are gay, catholic or jewish are also dei hires. The patriarchy wants to control everything even where you work.
- If women do not understand that white women are the biggest beneficiaries of dei policies in a patriarchy, it is time to go back to feminism 101.
- White women benefit the most from affirmative action and dei! banning these programs isn’t just about white supremacy. It’s also about patriarchy.
- This is why it drives me crazy when people only emphasize the racist implications of the anti-deia push (which is very important!). White women need to know how much this is costing them, and their alliance with the patriarchy won’t save them.
