        The Google manifesto created a toxic environment for women and its bio facts sure look like results of a millennia of social constructs.

        No? Biological differences led to social constructs that led to women and men having different career interests and preferences.

        Yeah, I agree discussion is warranted. The guy left Google with few options--PR disaster. Also, the guy didn't articulate points clearly.

        The discussion should include why this is deemed a PR disaster. It didn't have to be.

        You realize this comes off as curmudgeonly and uninformed. I know you don't know much about working in the private sector, Google at-will.

        The Ph.D who wrote the memo didn't leak it to anyone.

        So you followed your Appeal to Authority with a lie. He's not a PhD in cognitive or social science and he distributed the memo internally.

        I read Ph.D, his background is solid biology, there has already been a rush of support of him, and how did I lie?

        Also, when did I ever say he didn't distribute the memo internally? It was his detractors who leaked it to the public.

        He lied about having a PhD. He only has a masters degree in systems biology. He should have never been hired @ Google if he lied on his CV.

        Left mindset, but firing this guy is backwards. It makes no sense to me. It is why I think the Left is eating itself.
