    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I mean, the Daily Caller is picking out the most extreme viewpoints and posting only those to imply that that's the only reaction. Google's own reaction has been that it's cool. As someone who likely doesn't share the author's politics at all, I also think it's fine for him to express that publicly, if he feels that way. I don't think he should be fired.

    Google has a left-wing culture. That's fine, they're entitled to it. Employees are entitled to argue against it if they want.

    Here's the memo itself that spurred this discussion

    http://gizmodo.com/exclusive-heres-the-full-10-page-anti-diversity-screed-1797564320

    Seems mostly focused on trying to explain the gender gap from a biological standpoint. Also suggests ways to close the gender gap without gender-based discrimination.

    I'm a conservative, so of course I'll be biased toward an anti-leftist argument. What do those on the other side of the spectrum think of the content of the memo?

    "When addressing the gap in representation in the population, we need to look at population level differences in distributions. If we can’t have an honest discussion about this, then we can never truly solve the problem."

    When concerns like the one above become the driving force of a business, it marks the beginning of the business, becoming irrelevant in the market place. A review of history with the appropriate data can verify this trend.

    Fuck science, guy has an opinion so he must be fired and blacklisted. Maybe killed if his harassment is bad enough to equal murder.

    Hey cunts of all different kinds. If harassment equals violence why is there a different word?

    I liked the one douche who said they'd mail his personal stuff to him.

    I'd be taking it with me or it would be evidence in a criminal trial.

    These psychos are out of their minds.

    They're not even trying to be fair. How about if you call for someone to be fired and there is no cause, YOU get fired?

    On the other hand, this guy is probably some isolated aspergers genius or some asian/indian engineer with zero social skills who doesn't know how to play the fucking game.

    The Brianna Wu mentioned in the article is a complete lunatic btw, she appeared on some Sci Fy show and lied about how some gamers forced her out of her home by pointing a rifle at it, lol.

    Brianna Wu is a veritable gold mine bro. Look up Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian too, they're full of memes.
