Everything is a straw man for you.

Muslims are the highest offenders for terrorism - should we treat them different?

How about this - it is very radical and might be hard for someone like you to handle.....

How about we allow companies to hire people by merit.

I apologise if it is a horrible thing to hear for authoritarian, "diversity officer" supporting, communists.

But hiring is absolutely not done on merit. Its done on 'cultural fit' and that means, hire more guys like us. Women are widely discriminated against, merit notwithstanding. There is a fundamental problem in our industry, and denying it or throwing anecdotes around isn't helping us move forward.

And if 'straw man' offends, then I suggest learning to make other kinds of arguments. I call em as I see em.
