What we now call Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training in virtually any format, including “cultural competence” and “unconscious bias” trainings, derive from an earlier program more simply known as “Sensitivity Training.” Well, in 1974, the CIA published an internal memo about whether or not Sensitivity Training (or “Encounter Group” training) is appropriate for the agency, and they determined that it is not. The reasons are really something too: it creates groupthink, destroys independent thought, may not produce real (only false or apparent) results, and appears to be similar to thought-reform and brainwashing programs in Mao Zedong’s Communist China! Join me in this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast, to hear all about it.

The more I think about it, the more I view DEI and such things as the extreme form of “toxic femininity”.
Lying, manipulating, working as a group to ostracize others, painting others to be the bad guy when it’s really the opposite, guilt-tripping, etc., etc., etc.
Perhaps it’s no wonder this stuff comes from and/or blossoms at universities where several “social studies” might attract and sustain a disproportionate amount of women and certain types of men (e.g. look up “sneaker males” in fish, or characteristics of psychopathy).
You can find many examples of websites mentioning this “sneaker males” phenomenon in fish. Many fish species have a clear difference between males and females with regards to their outside appearance. For instance, if I look to my left at my tropical freshwater aquarium as I am writing this, I can for instance see my little “Corydoras Habrosus” catfish where the females are much larger and fatter than the males are. To name just one example.
Also possibly see the wikipedia page on “sexual mimicry” concerning “sneaker males” where the following can be read for instance:
“A second type of males, the sneaker males, is parasitic and resembles the female bleniid fish in their small size, colour, and movement patterns. This allows them to intrude into the nest guarded by the parental males. Sneaker males approach the nests with the same colour patterns and movements that the females hold. “
Just call it Cultural Marxism or communism.
