RUSH: Hey, we have a surprise report from the New York Times. Some in Silicon Valley think the tech world\u2019s push for gender equality has gone too far.<\/p>\n
The New York Times says that Silicon Valley has \u201clong been identified as one of the most hostile work environments for women,” even though the place is dominated by liberals. Now go figure that.<\/p>\n
So Human Resources departments are trying to equalize everything. The result is that Silicon Valley is a hostile work environment for men!<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s a backlash. When Google fired that 28-year-old Millennial engineer for posting his frustrations about nonstop diversity training, it sparked a new subculture. A movement focusing on \u201cmen\u2019s rights\u201d is quickly emerging.<\/p>\n
The Times interviewed one guy who says the diversity requirements have created a \u201cwitch-hunt\u201d atmosphere. He was interviewed from a soundproof booth out of fear he might be overheard. He said the reaction to anyone who voices incorrect opinions on gender \u201cis almost religious — almost zealotry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until recently, men opposed to Silicon Valley\u2019s diversity obsession were considered fringe. Now, even investors are beginning to pay attention to their complaints. Recent studies show the line for what is considered sexual harassment is too easy to cross. And the tech world\u2019s goal of \u201cgender parity\u201d might be too extreme.<\/p>\n
I have a solution. Hire the best qualified regardless of gender. Simple. But as I said, the place is run by liberals and to libs \u201cmerit\u201d is divisive. Not cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
