We could just talk about how systems can have multiple purposes and also have multiple second order effects. But our side is kind of dumb and would prefer something simpler and more conspiracy based
I'd say NOSIWID, if you're going to go for strict accuracy. 'Unintended consequences' have been a big idea on the right for a while.
I tend to think it's more that the bureaucrats in these areas see racism as a bigger threat to society than rape of invididuals, so when moral directives conflict they go with the one they see as more important. (Insert picture of liberal and conservative heatmaps here.) But POSIWID doesn't apply because they're not truly pro-rape; look at how eager they are to ruin men's lives over dubious accusations, for instance. It's probably more useful to understand the morality in terms of the well-known intersectionality framework where someone gains moral value the further they are from being a straight white cis male, for instance.
Rhetorically, well, you guys are better at this kind of thing than me. ;)

Every side thinks their side is dumb — that's liberalism!

That’s what Scott Alexander looks like? Explains a lot…
Have him lift weights, put him in a trench-coat and he could totally pull-off the gangster look to be fair.
Scott Alexander: I'm a rationalist!
Gottfried Leibniz: Nope, yuor a bitch! Now complete this integral and STFU!
Scott Alexander: Bu-bu-but--!
Rapacious lion: Did I just hear... Bark, bark, bark?
Jesse wth are you talking about
