#3I fail to understand how a memo calling for MORE diversity can get headlined as "anti-diversity memo" on all big media outlets. Do journalists even do independent research anymore or are they just regurgitating whatever reuters send their way without scrutiny?
Debate me instead of downvoting please. Downvoting is like forfeiting a discussion and shows that you question your own narrative.

The key to changing minds is understanding the other side. Not shutting them out of the conversation.

#6Firing this guy was just a PR move in order to keep things under control. The memo was accurate and I know that Google is going to learn from it even if the guy has been sacrified.

#7Flagged. This is just a shitstorm in a teacup.
EDIT: 2 minutes in and I'm already being downvoted. Stop being sexists, stop oppressing me

#10Why can't the memo be both sexist and science? Arguing that there are differences between genders that make one gender unsuitable for a task can be as scientific as you want, it's still sexist.
It's no different from doing the same but replacing gender with race - it's racist no matter how carefully and scientifically you worded it.
It's almost as if the person writing this article believes that if the manifesto is factually/scientifically correct then it must somehow not be sexist. As if sexism consisted of lies? I don't get it.
