> If an Asian guy wrote a similar article for arguing why Asian people are over-represented at Google compared to white people

If a woman at Google had written this, the conversation would be similar to what you describe. This is a man making a generalization about women. Key difference.

> A cry bully is someone who tries to get other people fired or de-platformed because they claim personal offense.

That's exactly what they would do, taking offense on all kinds of "liberal messaging." And yes, I'm glad they were ignored.

> You are making up the straw man because that is not what he claims they are doing

Then what is he claiming they are doing? (It's a trick question)

It's a man talking about how men are over represented. You don't agree?
If that's what you took out of the "manifesto", then no amount of effort on my part will force you to stick your head out of the sand.
I simply asked you if you agree that it's a man talking about how men are over-represented.

You were drawing a conclusion about how his comments are different from an Asian talking about how Asians are over-represented.

I haven't said anything else.

I take it from your somewhat insulting non-answer that you aren't sure if you agree with me.
