Let me stop you right there and black swan you for a moment before the argument deteriorates into an alt-right "Freedom of speech" argument.
-Do you contest there are female (software) engineers, or at least one female software engineer, in the highest echelons that are completely technically on par with their male counterparts?
-Can you prove that these female engineers (or even this single female engineer) has a "man brain" that allows her to be on par with her male counterparts?
If you cannot do that, the rest of any argument is bupkis. Until then, females should be assumed to be equivalent regarding that task.
Any large employer that does not attempt to correct this potential disparity to add to their workforce is stealing from its shareholders--to put it in conservative terms, and consequently, correcting any mistakes with regards to this equality objective is fully legitimate.
The manifesto explained nothing, but postulated that "guys like things and girls are emotional and that's why they make worse engineers, which makes the hiring process unfair" which doesn't follow, at all.
Maybe he just got fired for being terrible at logic and science; not a great trait in an engineer.
