I'm a big U2 fan but I'd have to disagree with you there. At the show I attended you could feel the energy go out of the crowd during "Red Hill Mining Town".

There's a middle ground between anonymous people commenting about it on the internet and emailing your entire office, who are presumably busy doing the work Google is paying them to do, with your beliefs. If had concerns he should have brought them up in person in a private meeting.

In next month's issue:

So then what are you defending here? His arguments for why there are fewer women in the tech world?

Global health guy here. We're pretty great.

Again, it wasn't his views that got him fired. It was him broadcasting those views via company email to the entire office. That's inappropriate and a breach of contract.

Let's discuss this question then. There are two major issues here:

That for me was a dead giveaway that all of his "I'm not sexist but" was just a thin veneer to hide his true feelings. You don't go running to the alt-right and get douchey t-shirts made up if you aren't a true believer.

Nothing says "I love free speech" quite like sending people you don't like death threats.

SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS TOFFEE-NOSED, MALODOROUS PERVERT!

Without the use of Google Maps it will be very difficult for many of them to make it in from the trailer park.

How many of them will use the Google Maps app to get to the protest and not even realize it?

I agree with you completely that it was a shitty manifesto but I'm on the fence about whether he should have been fired. As much as we don't like it, it's not illegal, or even fireable, to hold bigoted views unless it violates a law or contract. Firing someone for what he thinks instead of what he does, even if I…

In the original thread about this situation I made a comment along the lines of "this document was dumb and poorly thought out, this should be a teachable moment and not a fireable offense, that this guy didn't seem completely gone like an alt-right mouthbreather and so we should talk this out instead of jumping to…

It's planned for a Saturday, so not a sign that they are master strategists.

Yep. The girl who snapped her elbow the wrong way comes to mind.

I used to live two blocks down the street from Memorial Hospital. Even though it was only a couple of years after Katrina none of my neighbors ever mentioned what went down there, and I only learned about it and went "holy shit!?" after I saw Sherri Fink give a lecture.

And hire funnier writers and performers.

If anybody is interested, Netflix recently added the documentary about the real life GLOW. It's fascinating. Some of those women are still super beautiful, and others are really fucked up physically from years of wrestling.
