Taking sexism out of the discussion (maybe a bit of a thread-jack?)...

I do think we've gone WAY too far pushing DEI on medicine.

You're no longer allowed to ask someone's race--but if you've got black ancestry you're more prone to sickle cell...(for example)

You're no longer allowed to ask "man or woman" but there are indeed physical differences and ailments that affect each sex...(i.e. men cannot get pregnant, women cannot get testicular cancer)

It's crazy - we have differences that are genetically determined - but physiciians not being able to query for such characterics is insane, as is the unwillingness by some to even admit that they exist.

DEI is 100% lowering the standards of medicine, and resulting in a significant decrease in the quality of care, and an increase in morbidity and mortality.

It's crazy...and it needs to stop.

Yes, this is an extremely important issue. I’m really interested to hear the perspective of doctors and nurses on wokeism, just like many had uniquely valuable perspectives on the Covid response that were brushed off.
