I'm actually saying basically same thing in the middle part of my response. But meritocracies sometimes need to take a hard look in the mirror and admit cognitive biases and tweak the dials accordingly.

Your post actually argued we should introduce cognitive biases, and hire unequally.

Framing doing that as supporting gender equality is the Orwellian doublespeak that people are starting to object to -- you can support diversity without supporting hiring on the basis of race, gender, etc.

Getting closer to a meritocracy implies weeding out cognitive biases already.
