This guy had just filed a discrimination complaint with the National Labor Board against his employer, then turned around and wrote an inflammatory memo which he distributed throughout the company. Turns out, that is one of the few ways you can go after your employer in California and you don’t even have to prove that you were actually discriminated against.
His co-workers are overwhelmingly white and male, so it seems a little odd that a bunch of smart white men with an overwhelming majority are going to be so badly outflanked as to be beaten up on by a small minority of women. Does that sound right to you, because in my experience that just doesn’t happen, even if they had Hannibal in a skirt!

Not really. The real work is getting done, often by white men. But the company may well be lecturing everyone from on high about how women are superior to men, and promoting women above their accomplishments in an attempt to catch them up. That is, after all, the definition of affirmative action.
In 1980 I applied for a seasonal job. The nearly all male government agency informed me they could not hire me until the Friday before the job started, and then ONLY if no women applied. I was told any woman applicant would be hired regardless of qualifications.
During my time in the military, we often had top-down mandatory training which had zero to do with getting the job done, but which made the biases of the generals very clear. At least back then we didn’t have the military telling women to ignore it if someone with a penis started showering with them!
In fact, look at America. You can publicly criticize white men all day long, but heaven help you if you point out someone is too fat for a job, or that almost no women meet the physical standards, or that “diversity” isn’t much of a strength when compared to competency.

Care to actually back this up?? Specifically, your use of “had just”.
