The Code of Conducts basically amount to a "code of wrongthink". This can be best described when some of their advocates, like for example in the Node project make respositories called "mansplain" and "misandry", or when speakers at OSCON are caught with mugs reading "male tears" and using the "#killallmen" hashtag, and are ironically ignored when you report these matters whatsoever.
More importantly many in the industry have taken af "extend, embrace, extinguish" mentality to open source, projects that have been initially open source have become monetized and controlled by organizations, which have no intention of allowing open governance or control over the code base, and use these sort of "code of conducts" to label dissenting opinions as "toxic" or heretical.
I'd also like to mention that blacklisting is generally considered illegal, and I consider the application of sanctioned discrimination, even politically correct forms of it as illegal as well.
"The Hollywood blacklist—as the broader entertainment industry blacklist is generally known—was the practice of denying employment to screenwriters, actors, directors, musicians, and other American entertainment professionals during the mid-20th century because of their suspected Communist sympathy or membership in the Communist Party."
"John Henry Faulk won his lawsuit in 1962. With this court decision, the private blacklisters and those who used them were put on notice that they were legally liable for the professional and financial damage they caused. This helped to bring an end to publications such as Counterattack"
