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.

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...
