Yeah. You know I just attended a thing with a man who got fired for saying gender differences exist and we were threatened with grenades, bricks, shitty diapers, someone ripped out the sound equipment coz they didn't want us to talk?

Helen you know I adore you but Damore is suing for being discriminated against as a white conservatives man. That’s literally his lawsuit claim. California is an at will state and this cannot be ignored.

OK. I haven't looked into the evidence for that. I just saw him being discriminated against for saying that gender differences exist. Do you think its a false claim?

It’s been through the system and deemed rightful termination. As an insider in this industry, I can personally testify to cases that are way worse but we cannot do anything due to state laws.pic.twitter.com/mnp9Sd2PQI

You can fill entire football stadiums with cases of wrong but this isn’t one of them. How was he fired for being a white conservative man? This is hyped up nonsense imo and doesn’t address actual issues in the industry.

"Damore filed a class action lawsuit, alleging that Google was discriminating against conservative white men" doesn't entail that he's claiming he was fired for being white specifically though, right? Wasn't he fired for sharing what are considered conservative opinions on gender

I don't know but I always suspected he was already problematic as an employee and this was last straw. Just based on my own experience at places like that, if you are awesome, work well with people, you'd get fought for. He wasn't. Also, we aren't privy to all that personal info.

But it's known that they specifically asked him to share his opinions on this topic, right?

Yes. They didn't fire anyone who responded with cultural causes. Only the person who said biology might play a part.

Who knows if Damore was problematic in other ways but if he was asked for an opinion and the exchange was meant to stay internal, a strain of internal activism blew this up by leaking the conflict. May not have been fired w/out publicity?Damore wasn’t seeking public escalation
