The underlying ideas in this opinion piece are dangerous and should not be left unchallenged.
1) Identity politics is a road to hell. It’s bad when the far right plays that game with white supremacy and it’s equally bad when the left plays the game with equality of outcome.
2) Where are the hospitals having their conference on how to get more male nurses? Where are the construction companies complaining there aren’t enough women doing hard labor? Why is tech the center of this craziness when there are plenty of other careers that have the same type of demographic imbalance?
3) The value of your ideas aren’t limited to the color and gender you were born with. It is racist and sexist to say otherwise. As a white man, I can have ideas on race relations and women in the workplace that is just as valid as a black man’s ideas or a woman’s ideas. Ideas need to be evaluated with reason and logic.
What you have said is what any intelligent, fair-minded person, male or female, would say who was not cowed by the irrational ideas of the extreme left. I mourn for my country -- a country in which statements like yours are no longer too obvious to bother expressing.
