I mostly focused on education and related fields here, there is plenty of proof of the negative effects on relations between the sexes and race relations due to 'praxis'. Have a stroll through the statistics, have a look at the deterioration in race relations from 2000 onwards when 70% of black adults and 62% of white adults considered race relations to be 'Very/Somewhat good' versus 43% of white adults and 33% of black adults giving this answer in 2021 [1], the major downfall starting in 2013 from the start of Obama's second period (during which he campaigned as being the representative of a 'coalition of dispossessed') onwards.

To quote Christopher Rufo on what was and is happening in the federal government: The FBI was holding workshops on intersectionality theory. The Department of Homeland Security was telling white employees they were committing “microinequities” and had been “socialized into oppressor roles.” The Treasury Department held a training session telling staff members that “virtually all white people contribute to racism” and that they must convert “everyone in the federal government” to the ideology of “antiracism.” And the Sandia National Laboratories, which designs America’s nuclear arsenal, sent white male executives to a three-day reeducation camp, where they were told that “white male culture” was analogous to the “KKK,” “white supremacists,” and “mass killings.” The executives were then forced to renounce their “white male privilege” and write letters of apology to fictitious women and people of color.

I can keep on but I invite those who are interested in this subject - and I expect most people to be so since it has the potential to derail whatever progress has been made in the last 60 years - to 'do the work' to 'educate themselves' (to use a phrase from 'their' own play book).
