> our D&I consultant does not allow us to use words like "analysis", "independent", "lead", "driven", and "competitive"

I wonder if each of those words have been rigorously studied on their effect on applicants, or if your D&I consultant is just imposing someone's sexist stereotypes on your listings?

The link strongly suggests that it's the latter.

The thing that hurts the most about many of these inclusiveness pushes is that they are actually endorsing, enabling, and promoting sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory stereotypes while pretending to be holier than thou about it.
