This was poorly written. I'm still not sure why the author dislikes feminism. He jumped from one topic to another, without supporting facts anywhere.

The biggest thing I have an issue with is this paragraph-

>I happen to believe that many well meaning people of many causes damage their cause by basically forcing people to deal with their "diversity" first, instead of of being able to deal with people as people on their own merit.

If you feel like you're being 'forced' to deal with others diversity you should rethink being in the tech industry. Being in the tech industry means being able to deal with change and new ideas. Part of everyones merit is their different backgrounds, value sets and experiences. Equality/fairness is not treating everyone the exact same. It's absurd to be how undervalued diversity is in the tech world, it makes it's hard to believe that sexism/racism isn't at the heart of it.
