Perhaps you thought woke valorizing at MIT Sloan School of preferred identities pursuing righteous careers couldn’t possibly soar to greater heights. If so, you were wrong.
The latest Sloan School virtue campaign insists that because women are more “driven by a motivation to make a difference in the world” only entrepreneurs possessing two X chromosomes are likely to succeed tackling the triple planetary crisis of climate change, waste pollution, and biodiversity loss. Thus speaketh The Science!
Oh, and garbage is the key (irony unintended).
According to Delila Khaled, a recognized Expert™ who founded the global development advisory firm ImpaXus and is a Foundry Fellow at the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship at MIT, women also “design solutions that are inclusive, and they employ more women as they do this.” Which advances the noble cause of gender justice.
She insists that “A gender lens should also be embedded in climate investments related to zero waste and circular economies. Even with what little data we have, we know there is a multiplier effect when we invest at the intersection of climate, gender, and waste.”
It’s all spelled out in The Women-Waste-Climate Nexus, which concludes that “Centering women waste entrepreneurs and innovators is vital in the shift to a circular economy.”
Sloan School’s large and growing DEI office notes that the white paper makes no mention of underrepresented racial minorities, neurodivergent transexuals, or indigenous champions of other ways of knowing. Are these paragons of identity-based virtue not good enough to collect garbage? This major flaw better be addressed if Delila knows what’s good for her.
