So by their own admission, Twitter up to this point was essentially conceived of, built and run entirely by men.

Yet also by their own admission, Twitter has "given many female and minority voices a platform".

So we have an organization built and run mostly by white men that has expanded the influence of women and minorities. Is that not a good thing?

No. It's not good enough. Now that these white men have built a successful organization, women and minorities demand that many of those white men be displaced in favor of people who had nothing to do with building the company or running it successfully. They want to install people at high positions in Twitter simply because they happen to be women, or because they happen to be a racial minority. The competence and experience of the white men who actually built the company therefore matters less than the skin color and sexual organs of those who would replace them.

Is there anything more insane than this? Is this not the actual definition of racism and sexism, when people are promoted over others simply due to sex and race? And when the proven experience of a white man is completely ignored so that a woman or minority male can take his job instead?

Where does this gross sense of entitlement come from? Why should white men sacrifice long hours of work to build a successful business only to have women and minorities demand an unearned share of that success? How the fuck do people who had nothing to do with building the business suddenly feel entitled to run it? You know we're living in some kind of progressive insane asylum when this sort of thing is taken seriously.
