Curious to hear opinions on this.

On the Gizmodo headline?

"Discriminating just to increase the representation of women in tech is as misguided and biased as mandating increases for women’s representation in the homeless, work-related and violent deaths, prisons, and school dropouts."

Wow. Absolutely spot-on.

the reactions just highlight his point about any echo chamber

+1000.

BI calling it a "manifesto against diversity" in their headline shows they're beyond hope and clearly missed the entire point.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/07/opinions/google-employee-manifesto-against-diversity-opinion-randazza/index.html

You know it's gone too far when even CNN writes something like this:

"Cue the outrage and applause machines -- depending on which political tribe you belong to. Of course, the outrage machine is calling for him to be tracked down and fired. I take the opposite view, but not because I agree with him. In fact, I mostly disagree with him, though I think he makes some good arguments -- but that is beside the point. I categorically oppose the notion that if you have an opinion that deviates too far from that which is considered to be "politically correct," then the appropriate punishment is that you should lose your job -- and preferably not be hired anywhere else, either."

CNBC doesn't only disagree; it finds these things "shocking."

For example:

"On average, men and women biologically differ in many ways."

Shocking!

The fact that a person cannot safely state his opinion about why an observed phenomena exists (in this case, women being under represented) is extremely troubling.

Everything else to do with his balagan is of less importance. Which of his points are right or wrong doesn't really matter as much as the fact that he is not entitled to his own opinion.
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Ironic, because then when Kaepernick loses his job, probably because he can't play but a little because he deviated too far from the NFL ideology, everyone on the left is outraged.

Also, that was less the opinion itself than the way he chose to express it.
