If by 'other words' you mean, someone else's words. Eliminating harassment/discrimination is common sense for a company, ethically and for liability sake; he's not advocating against that.

But if you're a shareholder or investor in a software company, that suddenly diverts funds and resources to fight social causes (outside the scope of your mission statement), you have every right to have concern or be critical.

Most everyone who criticizes him takes a bad faith approach and draws their own conclusions. This is typical. eg /r/enoughpetersonspam for endless interpretations of phrases as philosophical statements
