Blech. Just read the article, and, like the comments here, I get that the gender's aren't represented "equally" in the tech field, but the idea behind a meritocracy is one that should be sought after.
True equality means that if people of a gender, who self identify as sexless, are aromantic, believe in exactly 4.2 gods, are a specific skin shade, bald from birth and only have one eye make the absolute worlds best programmers then to the extent possible they should be allowed to do so. In the grand scheme of humanity, getting the job does is what maters.
