'We’ve got all these tech companies filled with very young, very inexperienced, often white boys...'
Wow. I got a taste of this attitude studying my MSc in early 2000s. We were forced to attend a couple of men-bashing lectures because the programme had apparently been criticised for being 'too technical'.
It was an Info Science masters; technical was what I was after when I signed up :|
Misandry is one of the biggest challenges in academia: all levels of education are predominately female instructors, and female students graduate (at all levels) at a higher rate.
Yet, in 40 years of women earning more degrees than men, we’ve never seen a serious program to help men reach equity in education — something that can only be described as generational scale institutional sexism, in bold defiance of Title IX.
And that’s because the women in positions of influence are sexists, who appropriate all of the educational funding for the female majority — often by telling emotionally manipulative sexist myths about men.
This has led an entire generation of men to struggle under institutional sexism, and has led to increased radicalism and social instability.

An oath in the same spirit for knowledge workers would be meaningless, since their work never does any direct harm.
If such an oath is instead applied to indirect harm, how many levels of indirection is enough to wash your hands of all harm?
