Sadly, the current direction in the industry is: “let’s cover our ass”. Which eventually ends up with: less mentoring for women, less promotion, etc.

The problem is that our system and society will not reward companies which do right things (hire, promote, etc.) but it will punish companies for slight irregularities.

That's been the way forever, the players just change over time. It used to mean prison torture and death to criticize the church. So people didn't. Now they do.

Do you have any evidence of CYA causing less mentoring/promotion for women?

Every big company I see is promoting female mentorship and promotion, and nearly every big company is bigtime CYA.
