This type of social control is so bizarre to me. Like, here's a literal script for you to read from if you'd like us to stop attacking you in the future.

> Like, here's a literal script for you to read from if you'd like us to stop attacking you in the future. Us? I'm talking about them, in a third person sense, not a first person sense. Them, in this case, is meant to refer to trollish individuals looking to cause trouble under the facade of caring about the plight of women, people of color, etc. but actually are just in it for their own emotions. The people who want to stir the pot, not make things better. Rather than a script furnished in a list of demands from said subset of the populace, this is more of a suggestion to defuse conflicts in a way that doesn't let them win.

  Being forced to adopt others beliefs about diversity as their own is the definition of hegemony. You're taking part in making sure they have the "right" beliefs about business structure and hiring practices, and it's all the more insidious because you claim you're not.

    > Being forced to adopt others beliefs about diversity as their own is the definition of hegemony. Okay? I really don't have any interest in where this conversation seems to be going. If you're dealing with a troll, doing what I said will disarm 99% of their tactics. If you don't like that, take it up with the trolls. If you, rather, have a problem with diversity itself, then let's end this discussion here. EDIT: > You're taking part in making sure they have the "right" beliefs about business structure and hiring practices, and it's all the more insidious because you claim you're not. Okay, this is clearly not a discussion worth having.
