Welcome back. I find what I call 'the Girls in the Basement' do show up if one sits down and puts the Bottom in the chair, hands on keyboard.
Like you, I believe DEI as currently espoused is doing more harm than good. Social engineering rarely works in the way one hopes. There are huge problems, some of them with historical roots which need to be addressed. But positive discrimination, particularly with a clunking fist only results in more discrimination.
And one doesn't have to support Rufo's politics to understand the danger of this sort of DEI. In fact, Rufo is someone who saw many dollar bills lying on the sidewalk and decided to pick them up. He does do his research and provide the primary source documentation.
It is amazing that the ideas were rolled out so quickly without being subjected to proper scrutiny.
There is a certain amount of irony that Gay plagiarized Swain when one considers that Gay had to be aware of intersectionality and how black women's work could be erased.
Anyway, I always enjoy your posts and if your Crows of Doubt start cawing loudly again, tell them to shoo and that there is at least one person who wants to read your thoughts.

Fascinating subject.
It might be too late to tell you of a little spelling mistake but just in case…
You wrote ‘Stamford’ when you meant ‘Stanford’.
THANK YOU!!
Of course!
