      You think Trump supporters are mostly nerds? Highly analytical, intelligent people who work in technical areas?

      No, I think that a substantial number of nerds have rightwing leanings that corresponds to some of Trump's talking points, eg. James Damore.

      James Damore got fired for saying gender differences existed by google. Surely google is full of nerds. Do they seem right-wing?

      The ideological extreme revealed by that was the kind of left-wing that can't tolerate science if contradicts gender ideology.

      No, he also got the science wrong.

      The consensus is no. @HdxAcademy published a summary of metastudies which highlighted bits that supported & opposed his claims.

      But even if he did, people are allowed to be wrong. A nerdish environment which fires ppl for not accepting intersectional feminist views...

      ...on gender does not seem to be one that is heavy on alt-right ideology.

      I wouldn't have fired him, but that isn't relevant. Nor is Google's employment written by intersectional feminists.

      He shared his opinion, trying to dress it up in science, and failing. Do many Google employees share this opinion? Who knows. I suspect yes.

      I certainly hope so. Science-denialism was something we used to be able to blame the right for. Now the left is also guilty of it.

          We're not going to agree on scientific value of his memo. You think it's fine, I do not.

          Do you want me to try to find the metastudies? But its OK to disagree. I wouldn't fire you for it and hope you wouldn't fire me.

          No need, I've read studies, articles, and know of people here on twitter with contrary view. I think it would be a waste of time. ;-)
