It intended to remedy a lack of focus on this but in the process, in practice, often loses sight of the other two.

And ends up being collectivist, divisive & restrictive. That doesn't mean the gap in liberalism it spotted wasn't there.

But if it does matter in reality - if discrimination exists - then attention on this is needed but shldn't require divisive collectivism.

It relates to the question how discrimination is discovered, seen as worth fixing, and to the question whose attention is required to fix it
