Honestly this whole thing comes down to what kinds of things can be considered a minority. Calling a man "White cis male" ignores the fact that he might be autistic, ADHD or any number of other things. I have an autoimmune condition where I get migraines and asthma attacks from certain types of perfumes and air fresheners. They put in new air fresheners at work and I used more migraine medication than I had in years. I keep running out of asthma inhalers. I asked HR to switch them out and the answer was "Not gonna happen." No discussion, no argument, just straight up. Asking around I found out that they were making some employees walk around to use another entrance that didn't have an air freshener by it. What? Finally I got the MSDS that showed it contained all sorts of nasties. There's a warning that you aren't supposed to inhale the vapors. Kinda hard when they're everywhere. Crazy. The point is, this whole IT discussion and gamer-gate and several other issues seems to be a war over what is and what is not a minority. IT guys who were beat up as kids and ignored by the pretty girls are now in positions of power. And feel like these same bullies are coming back to get them. We need a better way to discuss this. Throwing around terms like "White cis male" just hides the fact that most people are in a minority of one sort or another - even white cis males.
