The forum was for discussion of Googles diversity efforts.

Story of my life!

The funny think about moderates is that everyone thinks they are a moderate. Members of Antifa think they are moderates. White supremacists think they are moderates.

If the company is doing something you think is illegal, ineffective, and immoral, and sets up a forum specifically for you to discuss that policy, you're saying that you should not talk about it?

I actually don't know what you're talking about. The white supremacist rally has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. That being said, I would like a link if you could provide one. From everything I've seen, there were no police at all there, like they wanted them to fight.

I'm not talking about the author. I'm talking about moderates and conservatives who still work there and are now are worried about their careers. The response from people on my original post was that they deserve it.

Several managers at Google have announced on those same forums that they are making lists of people upset about the firing (which includes many liberals) so that they can blacklist them. They may not get fired, but they will get shuffled onto separate teams, and refuse them during hiring if they leave the company. And…

I'm not sure if you're full of shit or actually that naive. The "Manifesto" was posted on an internal forum which expressly for the purpose of discussion around the companies diversity efforts.

Pretty amazed at the response I got from a simple post.

Most of the top questions were from moderates/conservatives asking questions about how they could possibly keep working there when if they get outed as anything other than progressive, they'll be publicly shamed and even fired.

Because he never implied that "women shouldn't be engineers". He stated that if Google is serious about adding more women, they need to break with policies that aren't working and make the environment more welcoming to women. Whether it's biological or sociological, women and men have different preferences.

That's a cowardly argument. The memo never pushed the sentiment that women shouldn't be engineers, the author is claiming it does.

Nope, you just don't realize you're a fascist yet!

"advocating for all the reasons women shouldn’t be engineers"

He doesn't. He very clearly lays out an outline for how he thinks the company could bring in more females. People just don't want to admit that men and women operate differently anymore. Any 1st year psych student could tell you that men are generally (but not always) better with spatial relationships, and women are…

Jesus dude, lighten up. Not everything is about modern day politics, and 300 isn't exactly the most subtle comic.

That's more or less where my mind went. Women on dating sites usually get the pick of the litter if they are remotely attractive.

So you're not allowed to use company equipment to write a memo that you think the company is committing immoral and illegal acts? That seems like a dangerous precedent to set, regardless of your opinions on the "manifesto" itself.

Did you see the original form, or just the version Gizmodo posted where they explicitly said that they removed all the sources? I haven't checked his sources, but I know he had a lot. I've also seen numerous conversations with several Evolutionary Biologists, both male and female, who claim that the line of thinking…

Again, saying "you'll get in trouble" is not an excuse to ignore doing what is right. That's the extent of a Jim Crow era correlation I was drawing. You're allowed to disagree that he is not right, and I encourage you to argue his points. Merely calling him sexist isn't doing that.
