DEI keeps on saying "more women in universities! More women in universities!" even though universities have been majority women for decades now. It's a one way ratchet that never stops.
What's the theory of harm here? If we continue educating women they may gain too much social mobility?
This is false.

Even if we quibble about the dates involved, we all understand that historically women have been marginalized, denied property, voting, and other rights, and that this was the status quo for millenia, right? And that that has lasting effects that continue in our society?
And your father/grandfather was enslaved by the government to fight in the Vietnam war until 1975.

Blatant hypocrisy, you think 60% of college students being women is good, but consider it horrible sexism that at one time 60% of college students were men.
You don't want equality, you just want everything to be female dominated.
Bad-faith arguments seem to be your shtick, given your comment history on this post.
I don't want everything dominated by women, I just recognize that the work of undoing their marginalization is not complete.
No, “DEI” doesn’t keep saying that. Why are you making up a strawman to fight?
Biological sciences are STEM of course. But if we're going to extend the definition, why not include all fields that involve technical skills? How about accountants and lawyers?
I'm concerned that you only proposed adding medical and nursing students because it's the only additional field that would support your argument. That strikes me as goalpost moving, so I hope it was just an omission.
