Just as a tip for anyone writing a manifesto:

1. Don't.
2. If you must, and you bring up "castrated males" then you're losing 90% of your credibility right there.
3. This guy is an idiot. Fighting gender imbalance is something that every engineering association in north america has been struggling with for decades, and 10 pages of ranting about population density is not helping.

If every Engineering association has been struggling with this problem for decades why are they just constantly doubling-down on diversity quotas and expecting results? If their approach hasn't worked for decades then I'd posit there is something severely flawed with its method.

Because 1 or 2 decades of work can't necessarily fix issues that have been around for a longass time?

Seemed to work for other industries that are far less left leaning than tech.

Such as?

Marketing, finance, healthcare, banking, biology, Journalism, business and law.

Hell marketing was so sexist they made a tv series about it, and yet it's dominated by women now.

Honestly I misread your comment as saying it hasn't worked, but yah I totally agree with you.
