This is what a person was fired and then named and shamed for? You're joking, right?
https://www.google.com/amp/gizmodo.com/exclusive-heres-the-full-10-page-anti-diversity-screed-1797564320/amp Right, so this is what the guy from Google was fired for writing. I'm failing to see him as a sexist. I don't agree 100% with everything he says, but he is definitely not sexist. The actual bit that he wrote starts with the first grey box in the article. I think I managed to pinpoint how far most people who started writing articles about how sexist he is started seeing red too and that would be right about here:
After reading and seeing the response to this memo, I'm left wondering how many people actually read it before posting about it and writing articles about it.
He questioned authority, they dumped him. That's the corporate world for you.
As for articles deeming him as sexist, he does carry that stench of male elitism. Whether that is the case or not, I wouldn't put stock in him since biological differences is his go to criticism. It seems lazy to have this as his basis when there are other arguments to be made.
@Jackaloftheazuresand I agree he could have touched on more arguments, but how venomously the left reacts to even entertaining the idea that men and women have biological differences is inexcusable in my opinion.
@AnInfamousDerka I have read a pile of research on both cognitive and physical differences between male and female brains. Most of which is laying around in college libraries collecting dust.
Adjusted for total brain size (men’s are bigger), a woman’s hippocampus which is critical to learning and memorization, is larger than a man’s and works differently.
Conversely, a man’s amygdala, associated with the experiencing of emotions and the recollection of such experiences, is bigger than a woman’s.
The fact that women are less emotionally adept and that man are more elitist in their behavior is profoundly ironic. As is the fact that the bell curves of intellectual comparisons of men and women being inversely weighted (women's in the center average and men at the extreme ends) is, to me, an obscene deception.
One brutal truth is worth any number of lies. Because the only thing worse than repeating a lie is spending the rest of your life staying true to that lie.
The typical physical brain of males and females show a few physical differences that explain some reasoning and emotional aspects of being one sex or the other.
He was telling the truth and was penalized for not "buying his bread" with the approved "currency" of mainstream lies.
Oh trust me, the rabid she male feminists don't have to read it, they'll react negatively because a man wrote it.

The outrage media sources cut out the inconvenient portions of his memo to make it appear far more polarizing, such as all the charts and links the author added to support his claims.
Google's reaction to what amounts to mob justice was beyond disappointing.
@SW-User I'm disappointed in it as well, all it does is prove a lot of his points. They could have pulled him aside and at least given him a chance to hear him out, but they didn't, they just fired him. I'm not even saying it's technically a violation of free speech, but it definitely doesn't do anything to encourage it and lead to a constructive debate of any kind.

@AnInfamousDerka As a private company, they can enforce their internal rules as they please, within the limits of the law. My main gripe is how a company that wants to support free speech, exchange of ideas and openness, within reason, does not follow those same principles.
You're not allowed to have a different opinion anymore, it's just really sad...
@IstillmissEP Making a claim that men and womens brains are not different and trying to sustain the argument by saying that mens brains are incapable of grasping that fact is in all truth the only really apparent thought crime here.
@Fernie How did I misinterpret it exactly? I'm not being a drama queen, I just responded because maybe you would have a contrasting view point, which you seem to. We wouldn't be still having this back and forth right now if you had either not responded to my initial response or said fuck off. Either would have received the same result, which is we wouldn't be talking right now.
