Speaker 1: Hey, we have a surprise report from the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Some in Silicon Valley think the tech world's push for
Speaker 1: gender equality has gone too far. The New York Times
Speaker 1: says that Silicon Valley has long been identified as one
Speaker 1: of the most hostile work environments for women, even though
Speaker 1: the place is dominated by liberals. And I go figure that,
Speaker 1: so human resources departments are trying to equalize everything, and
Speaker 1: the result is that Silicon Valley is a hostile work
Speaker 1: environment for men. And there's a backlash. When Google fired
Speaker 1: at twenty eight year old millennial engineer for posting his
Speaker 1: frustrations about NonStop diversity training, it sparked a new subculture.
Speaker 1: A movement focusing on men's rights is quickly emerging. The
Speaker 1: Times interviewed one guy who says the diversity requirement to
Speaker 1: created a witch hunt atmosphere. He was interviewed from a
Speaker 1: sound proof booth out of fear he might be overheard.
Speaker 1: He said, the reaction to anyone who voices incorrect opinions
Speaker 1: on gender is almost religious. It's almost zelatry now. Until recently,
Speaker 1: men opposed to Silicon Valley's diversity obsession were considered fringe.
Speaker 1: Now even investors are beginning to pay attention to their complaints.
Speaker 1: Recent studies show the line for what is considered sexual
Speaker 1: harassment is too easy to cross, and the tech world's
Speaker 1: goal of gender parity might be too extreme. I have
Speaker 1: a solution. High are the best qualified, regardless of gender. Simple.
Speaker 1: But as I said, the place is run by liberals
Speaker 1: and libs. Merit is divisive, not cool. H
