Just a quick search for the CEO's of the biggest companies provides a nice list. https://ceoworld.biz/2023/03/17/the-worlds-most-influential-ceos-and-business-executives-of-2023/

In the top 10, 7 are cis white men, along with these 3:

  1. Karen Lynch, CVS
  2. Amin Nasser, Aramco
  3. Sundar Pachai, Alphabet

Bringing up sexual orientation, gender Identity, and racial identity is what these billionaires want. Plenty of "girl bosses" have shown they are perfectly capable of exploiting labor. Peter Thiel is a perfect example of how you don't have to be straight to oppress people. The CEO of Microsoft isn't white.

UAW just announced a strike against 3 manufacturers today, including GM whose CEO is Mary Teresa Barra.

Then of course there's tons of CEO's and billionaires from Asia, Mexico, and the Middle-East. Calling out Cis White Men does nothing but cause further divisions between members of the working class. There's plenty of CIS straight white men out there laboring and being repressed by a variety of different demographics.
