Part of DEI is "gender equity." The Women's Bureau has been around along time, but its continued existence will be due, in part, to the larger narrative surrounding "gender equity."
This example of gender inequality that favours women is based on evidence as recorded by money given specifically every year as recorded in financial records.
The "larger narrative" as you expressive is based on "word salad" or as "merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative". W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado.
In world war 1 many women in America started to do male jobs (because ... the males were fighting an dying for the country)
So starting a "Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau" at that time was probably an easy sell at that time.
It still being alive more than a century later makes me think that one or more off the following are true:
-It failed to achieving it's goals (incompetent)
-changing it goals (competent and trying to stay alive after having become unnecessary)
-having a different goal than officially announced (dishonest)
-money coming in is always a good thing
I'm just wondering whether this "success" contributed to the start of UN which -as you have pointed out several times- is another money grab for women.
Thanks for the comment and analysis. "Changing the goals" seems to be quite common among these government agencies. For example, if we look at the NIH's Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH), the original goal of that office, when it was created in the early 1990s, was to increase the number of women who were participants in clinical trials. Putting aside the fact that the original claim was questionable at the time it was made, that claim has clearly not been true over the past 30 years, as the NIH's own data show that each year women are 55-60% of participants in NIH-funded clinical trials. Because this goal has been achieved, the ORWH has now broadened its goals beyond what was originally stated so that it can maintain its existence. They continue to move the goal posts.
"In my book" is an idiomatic expression used to indicate one's personal opinion or belief about something. For example, saying "In my book, honesty is very important" means that you personally value honesty highly.
I started writing many books in my life but never got much further than 20 pages. Maybe if I had had a mentor or a book writing training I would have become a book author; but I never had a mentor and book writing trainings are from after "my days"
Feminism contributed largely to me being burned-out and thus on welfare -for over 10 years now- (luckily for me in Belgium).
One of the reasons feminism is so devastating to me is that I can not deal will injustice. It eats me from the inside out. Thing I had to endure were:
-Absolute content from girls when trying to connect.
-Rejected from groups when speaking up against injustice
-Reverse discrimination at work (multiple time)
-My ex was brainwashed by feminist theory by a psychologist => she left.
-Divorce laws clearly set up to benefit women.
-Treatment of a male with a female kid (in the middle of Dutroux)
-Feminists can say whatever they want whenever they want; and I get the message:"Why do you need to speak up against feminism?" from my own family
....
I have become a lot wiser in these 10 years but the fire of injustice is still burning and that is painful when you live in a bureaucracy that feeds you.
But books ... I started many; never finished one and probably never will.
I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced all of that, but I'm glad that you shared it here for me and others to see. I'm sure that others can relate to many of the items that you listed.
Thanks for this Jim. These are all starting to add up. I wonder about estimating the dollars spent for women in the US budget. Yuge.
Re the women's budget. How is their budget consistent with the DEI political advocates ?
Many thanks for your research James. Much appreciated.
This is an interesting point. Gynocentric catering could be considered DEI and if so, it could be abolished. Yeah, wishful thinking....

Thanks for the reply.
>They continue to move the goal posts.
Thanks for the NIH example.
In my book changing the goals (as a way to stay in business) is what most big mature organizations do (especially when it makes money or holds power).
I believe it is part of why things/ideas/laws swinging one way; overshooting; swing the other way and overshoot (repeat).
If you have a link to your book, feel free to share it here.
Lol: In my book like:
