1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hey, we have a surprise report from the New York Times.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Some in Silicon Valley think the tech world's push for

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: gender equality has gone too far. The New York Times

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: says that Silicon Valley has long been identified as one

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: of the most hostile work environments for women, even though

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: the place is dominated by liberals. And I go figure that,

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: so human resources departments are trying to equalize everything, and

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: the result is that Silicon Valley is a hostile work

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: environment for men. And there's a backlash. When Google fired

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: at twenty eight year old millennial engineer for posting his

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: frustrations about NonStop diversity training, it sparked a new subculture.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: A movement focusing on men's rights is quickly emerging. The

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Times interviewed one guy who says the diversity requirement to

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: created a witch hunt atmosphere. He was interviewed from a

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: sound proof booth out of fear he might be overheard.

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: He said, the reaction to anyone who voices incorrect opinions

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: on gender is almost religious. It's almost zelatry now. Until recently,

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: men opposed to Silicon Valley's diversity obsession were considered fringe.

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: Now even investors are beginning to pay attention to their complaints.

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: Recent studies show the line for what is considered sexual

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: harassment is too easy to cross, and the tech world's

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: goal of gender parity might be too extreme. I have

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: a solution. High are the best qualified, regardless of gender. Simple.

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: But as I said, the place is run by liberals

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: and libs. Merit is divisive, not cool. H
