https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2031866/ … I think Damore has said that one thing he would have done differently if he had to write the memo again is not use the word "neuroticism," bc in everyday speech it has a negative/judgmental connotation that it doesn't in scientific terminology.

The language doesn’t bother me. I don’t believe it’s backed by scientific consensus. From what I’ve seen this wouldn’t be a strong argument.

It is tho. Replicated over and over again. Women consistently report feeling more anxiety and stress than men. They're probably not lying about this.

Is it biological? How are these studies conducted and does social environment play any role?

You've been sent many of them. Have a read and see. But even if you continue to believe cognitive and psychological gender differences not to exist, surely you can agree that those of us who think they do should be able to join conversation without firing?

3. Wrongful termination is a different issue and subject to laws and precedent. Companies write employee codes of conduct expressly to defend their business model and hire/fire in their best biz interest. Very dangerous to take that away.

Different issue. I am interested in culture and how it makes certain values & beliefs within business' best interests to mandate. eg when my mother wrote memos saying women should be able to take accountancy exams, this was very much against the bank's code of conduct & values.

I am not defending the specifics of a code of conduct. I was pointing out that, even if stupid or reprehensible, the business decides what its core values are.

Yes, but we know that. We couldn't criticise Google for deciding its core values include blank slatism without knowing it did that. What is of interest is why it did that & this is to do with the cultural hegemony of blank slate ideas.

Philosophically...I agree with you. My personal tendency is to impassive data analysis. Which I know can be annoying and probably unhelpful here. *exits philosophical discussion*

Ha! No. Not annoying. Just the difference between what is and what ought to be. I'm much more interested in the latter but reliant on people like you for the former.
