> B isn't the argument being made by diversity advocates Of course it isn't because then it would expose the hypocrisy of what they advocate. It's white-knighting at its finest. > Men and women aren't allowed to compete based on merit and women need special consideration in order that equivalent number of men and women are hired. I agree there is sexism in tech, both overt and casual that discourages women from entering tech and/or causes them to leave. The question is, does increasing diversity actually fix this problem? The author of the memo specifically addresses this, and states that the focus should be on providing psychological safety for people of all groups, rather than forced diversity that may not end up addressing the problem.
