#3They seem to draw a line between men and women because of "biological differences".
I wonder what they think about affirmative action for men of different races.

#4To describe it as "anti-diversity" kind of proves the manifesto's point - that one political side controls the debate. Because the manifesto clearly states it is for diversity, including diversity of gender and race (and even suggests ways to try to improve things there).
It's fine to disagree with it - it has many flaws and inaccuracies, to be sure - but we can do that with honesty and fairness. Not just for the author's sake, but for our own.

#6The problem isn't what this person's views are. The problem is that you aren't allowed to have a nonconformist view. Precisely what diversity and tolerance are supposed to bring. "We have people from all backgrounds provided they parrot exactly the same view of the world!" Is hardly diversity.
Invariably whoever wrote this will be flogged, and the moral busybodies inside google will gain a little more influence as other people with non-conforming views duck their heads down a little lower.

#7The guy made some great points. A pragmatic, fresh look at diversity programs is a great idea and open discussion is what we need.
Vice, wried (and I'm sure The Verge will be on that list too) should be ashamed of themselves. The author is obviously pro-diversity, and all this does is prove the manifesto's point.

>it has many flaws and inaccuracies
Can you expound on these a bit? Seemed like most of the adverse responses were appeals to emotion rather than dealing with the statements and I'd like to hear a rational critique of the issues.

#9The author of the manifesto declares conservative bias to be pragmatic, by its nature.
Pragmatism, insofar as it is in opposition to idealism, is the absence of a guiding philosophy. Anyone who puts themselves on one side of the liberal/conservative spectrum is an idealist.
This Mary Sue bullshit is unforgivable, and I could not read on.

It is entirely possible to claim to be for something while actively doing things that are negative for it. The author didn't get to decide if his manifesto is anti-diversity any more than the KKK get to decide if they are racist.
I haven't read the manifesto, so I'm not saying it is anti-diversity, but your post appears to assume they can't be lying or wrong about that.
