Also, competition for talent is at a major high right now and the generation of folks consulting companies are looking to hire have diversity as one of their core values in a workplace. It’s just a smart move to at least make it look like it is a value.

Exactly PwC1. Until M1 said it I had never even thought of that word in sexual terms.

OP, it’s been around a lot longer than last October when MeToo got big.

Totally joking guys. And yes, females could definitely be butthurt via the same method. Ha. He said white male, hence the joke.
