Well, in case you are wondering, let me tell you why they do. Full disclaimer, this article is a rant and might contain some curse language, so I apologise in advance. On second thoughts, I don’t. The language used in this article reflects what I feel at this moment while writing this article.
If I charged a penny for every single time, I have had the conversations around why there are ‘’too many’’ women groups and how much ‘’they dilute’’ the message; I would be incredibly wealthy.
I am so bloody tired of having endless conversations around closed-minded- DEI mentality. If I charged a penny for every single time, I have had the conversations around why there are ‘’too many’’ women groups and how much ‘’they dilute’’ the message; I would be incredibly wealthy. Ok, I would have a major headache of banking all these pennies, but you get my point.
To help you understand just how ridiculous this is, let’s use Boobs & Bras. A simple Google search on bras will bring back thousands of different types, designs, sizes, colours, prices, shapes, cups etc. Thousands! What does this tell you? It means that there are billions of different body sizes, body types, colour preferences, affordability, cup sizes! Those of us who are carriers or owners of boobs, will buy, select or prefer a bra(s) based on one thousand reasons. We will decide on comfort, on occasion, or cost price, on colour, on what we are going to wear on top of it, on whether we prefer one with straps or without, whether it’s a stay-home-all-day kind of bra day, or even on a good day, we will not bother with any bras! At the end of the day, we have options-choices-preference! WE decide.
I am yet to see any argument about too many bras or too many varieties and options! Never! Why? Because there is an unspoken agreement that those who are carriers and owners of boobs are free to choose. But most importantly, it is the realistic realisation and common sense that there are different body types, shapes, cup size, colour preference, financial capabilities, among many other factors. It is unanimously agreed and accepted as common sense and of course business or commercial benefit to those who design them.

4 年Love it!! Thank you for the great reading! After reading your article, we hope more "human beings" will eventually get it.?DEI vision must be global, however the approach to solve the problem must be holistic (and intersectional to consider the uniqueness of each individual), and of course collaborative since we all share the same goal: ensure each individual can fulfill their full potential. Thanks for the fun, the way you've articulated the subject made my day :-)
