Normally a push for diversity doesn't bother me particularly, but in this case it seems weird... because is this about "diversity" really? The recent furor was never about "Uber doesn't hire enough women" for example. It was about "Uber hires women and then harasses them to the point of tears." 36% of their workforce is female, K great. How many of those were harassed to the point of tears? Well, that measurement doesn't "matter" apparently, and was either not measured, or just doesn't advantage the company's PR enough to release publicly right now.
I guess I'm impatient with the baby steps. If you're going to make a big show of owning up to needing a culture change, be disruptive and aggressive like you claim to be. In short, show some balls. And yes I see the irony of putting it like that, but I don't really mean it ironically. It takes more balls to be a man who protects (edit: but not in a paternalistic/controlling way) and respects women and owns up to his mistakes than one who's still afraid of mommy or just wants to chase skirts. In short I guess I'm saying Uber doesn't hire enough MEN. And it hires too many boys.
