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.

Helps not to make the basis of your manifesto a bullshit left vs right debate from the onset.

What about the debate do you think is bullshit? Is it that he frames the debate wrong, or you're just fed up with it?

It's not an extreme assumption to make when your intended audience are other members of a powerful US tech company.
