The American Bar Association has proposed affirmative action, loan forgiveness, sexual harassment training, and unconscious-bias classes to change this trend.

Repeatedly expanding the methods for telling men they are bad when they have never made an offense does nothing to solve the problem. In fact the extra intense push my former employer made for forcing more of that sort of training and mandatory discussion groups is partially why I left. It was just so obnoxious.

Acknowledgement of biological differences between sexes is really the only way to go

Correct. If anything, it exacerbates it.

Same here. I recently left a job when the PC indoctrination reached a level where I just couldn't take it anymore.

Yeah, it was sad watching the decline of meetings generally being about tech discussions and business direction to 1/8th of all total department discussions being diversity and inclusion. My entire 100+ person project had less department discussion than all of the PC/ diversity initiatives. My final straw was when they implemented new hiring practices where 50% of new hires needed to be female and 25% needed to be "under represented minorities".

Mind you this was for extremely specialized engineering roles where in 12+ years I maybe worked with 3 women total. They started hiring these women who didn't even know the programming language we used and knew nothing about game development. It was a fucking joke.

My last job had a pretty diverse team. The issue that I had with it was the change in the corporate culture from one of focusing on 'teams' to focusing on only certain teams. The color of your skin or your sexual orientation were far more important than the work you were doing.
