        Damore attacked the competence & legitimacy of a large fraction of his colleagues & created a hostile work environment. Good they fired him.

        I would in fact fire the people who believe this - because clearly they have poor reading comprehension and critical thinking skills

        Read this dud already. Try the multiple responses by female scientists. The correct response to not having read the science is admitting it

        Yonathan's blog is about why the memo is a firable event, not science. Others have debunked Damore's misreading of scientific literature.

        Can you point to a source? I can give you multiple source of scientists (including females) who say his science was nearly spot on

        @kirtipatelmd I've tweeted about the science's inaccuracy but leaving that aside, calling for Pichai's resignation over this is laughable.

        The guy references legit science, but uses its conclusions on a wrong sample of women and stirs trouble at the work place.

        Actually it's not "legit" science. It is very flawed science. These types of studies have poor designs that makes the data questionable.

        It is actually exhausting how people assume all science is legit science. In truth, actually precious little is truly legit.

        Just curious, how come David never mentions the memo cited no sources for its claims?

        The eriginal has practically every claim sourced, wikipaedia style. Can still argue source validity, but he did do his homework

        Yeah just found this: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/evzjww/here-are-the-citations-for-the-anti-diversity-manifesto-circulating-at-google … Gizmodo continues to prove their worthlessness.
