		There's a big difference between suing people for prima facie illegal hiring practices and suing people for holding Grace Hopper celebrations. We probably shouldn't conflate them. Your links, as best as I can tell, are about the former sort of activity - hiring or paying people differently on the basis of protected characteristics.

Don't know about corporates, but Harvard was sued[0] for DEI-esque discrimination.

		Harvard lost due to obvious "anti" racist discrimination. It still seems to discriminate against whites and asians and in favour of blacks, but not as heavily as it used to. Edit: forgot to to write "and asians".

There's a case going through the courts for Red Hat right now where they based managerial bonuses on how diverse their teams were, which reportedly led to them pushing out white males.

Such should rightfully be illegal.

Every statement from company officials such as "we only employ women" or "toxic males", can be used as evidence at court. It is very difficult to prove bias from vague sanitized corporate language, direct "activist" statements make proving such bias very easy. For example recent lawsuit with IBM!

> "we only employ women"

But I highly doubt most companies were saying that or implying it. There's more to DEI than having minority quotas. Would DEI practices such as campaigns to encourage more men to go into nursing, midwifery or teaching be targeted too?

		> such as campaigns to encourage more men to go into nursing, midwifery or teaching be targeted too? These aren't illegal and have never been the problem. Discriminational hiring practices and quotas are, unfortunately DEI activists decided to do these.
