As a man in tech from an underprivileged background, I couldn't disagree more. I worked as a cleaner for three years while educating myself, at the same time slowly winning freelance work. I know and worked with other men who went through similar situations. That we might be considered ripe for purging due to our genitalia is some somewhat remarkable. That people seem to support it with apparent glee is disheartening.

If you recognise intersectionality is "a thing", how can you justify supporting any measure which discriminates based on an arbitrary attribute such as gender? Surely the concept is one which demands a little more nuance in matters like this?

Maybe you don't understand. White men are all the same. They all grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths and no hurdles to overcome. Life is just easy for them. /s
