HR Feminist Fires Men For 'Toxic Masculinity' - Male Investors WITHDRAW Millions, Company DIES

As CHRO, I launched a campaign to purge “toxic masculinity” from our thriving tech startup. I began firing men for being too direct, too competitive, too intense—labeling fundamental personality traits as toxicity. This is my story of how a crusade for workplace equity became a masterclass in catastrophic overcorrection, why conflating behavior with personality can bankrupt a company, and what happens when ideology smothers reality. Male investors withdrew $28 million. High performers fled. The company that once had product-market fit and a brilliant team collapsed, costing 280 people their jobs—including the women I claimed I was protecting. I learned the brutal difference between eliminating genuine harm and pathologizing masculine-coded traits: one creates equity, the other creates a witch hunt. Real inclusion doesn’t mean demanding everyone communicate or compete the same way—it means rooting out abuse while celebrating the diverse personalities that drive innovation. ⚖️ Have you seen good intentions veer into destructive dogma? Where should the line be drawn between addressing toxic behavior and respecting personality diversity?
