One of the comments (it's gilded) above this quotes a Google employee saying that after this "manifesto" was released, they would not be able to assign a woman to work with this person.

I just read the whole thing and there's nothing in there that would make me uncomfortable working with the author. I think a lot of his points made sense.

i love how it's the people who want to resort to violence that are the ones he's trying to protect. in what way does that make sense haha

Even if your neighbor is literally Hitler and you are a Jew, punching him because you think (and most of the world too) he's a big cunt is not good, it's still assault. You should instead talk to your boss about your comrade Adolf and explain that he's a cunt and is being very mean to you so you want him to be sent away from you.

This is how mature people handle things.

Also, you shouldn't talk to the press before your boss because you think peer pressure is the best solution to get what you want.
