>This is an outright fabrication. Nowhere did Damore write that women should be paid less, or that they were genetically inferior at tech. Oh no, he simply stated that women get pa…

No, it's not there, it's on the memo itself, in his own words, in a section literally titled "Non-bias causes of the gender gap in tech" if you'd like a more reliable source than W…
