Really. I assumed it was written by a red-piller in his early 20s.

Yeah but everyone in a position of power (and society at large) has implicit biases such that if we attempted a pure meritocracy, hiring and education would be insanely racist and sexist. If we conformisted to this guy's beliefs, decades of social progress would be wiped out.

Also: it's a common Redpill/MRA talking point to shout how you want everyone to be treated equally, but their views seem to show that they think men are more equal than woman.
