    So much dishonesty, "They called on science & reason to support James Damore saying women were biologically inferior but refuse to acknowledge that it's irrational to say that people are inferior because they're women." (Paraphrasing) Lies but illogical even if it were truehttps://twitter.com/BristolBen/status/994245846433705984 …

    Ben @BristolBen
    “They would have us return to an age, one not so very long ago, when the ideas that black people should not be slaves, that women should be allowed to vote... were considered heresy” She’s talking about Sam Harris, Christina Hoff Sommers, et al, here! 😳😂 This is surreal. https://twitter.com/susanthesquark/status/993943977245130752 …

        JD showed evidence that men & women have different interests on average. Irrational ideologues claimed this meant women were biologically inferior. (WTF?!) A claim that 'women are inferior' is not inherently irrational. It is either true or untrue depending on criteria.

        If we are grading on ability to do pull-ups or urinate up a wall, women are going to come out badly on these skills. However, we do not judge superiority or inferiority in this way & to suggest we should would be irrational. Fortunately, nobody at all does that.

        1/ It's been over a year now and these people still persist in their campaign to misrepresent/maligh James Damore. They've had plenty of time to read the actual memo as well as numerous articles, supporting its premise. This whole thing is getting quite tiresome,

        2/ Tiresome or not though, I'll continue to do what I can to support James. There is an important precedent at stake here. STEM must always be based on facts and reason, not political correctness and flights of emotional fancy.

        Good point. It’s contradictory. I’m usually good a picking up self-refuting points but missed that one. 😐

        I think now I've grown to a point where even if you think some Dark Webbers are at the moment doing more harm than good, I'm only inclined to protest if you're promoting this kind of lack of integrity and than turning around and resenting the attention so called DWers get.
