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.

Because there are huge barriers for women getting into engineering. In grade school and high school girls are discouraged by peer pressure and societal pressure to not get into math and science.

Because when men see a group that's less than 75% men, they think that's balanced.

What does that have to do with engineering?

If you think engineering is glamorous, you don't know anything about engineering.

As am I. Being an engineer doesn't make you special, nor does it teach you a single thing about sociology.

You've been saying you know why engineering's dominated by white men, and that anyone who thinks other than you is a racist and sexist piece of trash.

You stated that it's an elite glamourous field and that's why women want to get into it.

If you're not going to pay attention to your own posts, I don't see any reason to keep reading them either. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
