I'm afraid that gamergate and Trump has put a huge dent in that optimistic evaluation of "nerds", and I think of myself as one.
But he was fired for saying that gender differences exist which was viewed as sexist which is a feminist position, not an alt-right one.

Gender policies are not reserved for feminism. I hope you're not suggesting that sexism is a stranger to the alt-right.
-
No, but claiming that men and women have no psychological cognitive differences coz otherwise sexism is.
-
The alt-right has equally wrong views on gender and much less positive motives for making them. A look at the science refutes both.
-
That's the point. James Damore had the much less positive motives & deliberately misrepresented science to make his viewpoint less sexist.
-
I don't claim to know his motives but liked his view that we treat people as individuals, not genders, & suggestions to draw more women in.
-
I consider that a very charitable reading of his memo, especially given the information that's surfaced afterwards.
-
It;s what it said!

I don't know what James Damore's politics are. I might well disagree with them. He might even be sexist. But the memo wasn't.I agree with it
