I’m not implying anything. I’m stating the fact that diversity can come in many different shapes, sizes, and shades as shown by AT&T.

Telephone operators were female because female voices were easier to understand on contemporary telephones (their voice frequencies had a better signal/noise ratio). Their hiring into this specific profession is in fact a counter-example to inclusivity, since one gender was predominantly hired for this role specifically.
