    I read the guy's memo. He's really trying to sound informed, so I'll give him that. The issue of biological and brain differences between the sexes is studied and discussed at colleges all over and has been for years. I'm not sure where he went to school, but he must have kept coursework pretty narrow. Sound like he's whining about not feeling validated and therefore feeling victimized by a few programs at Google. 
    if you read the opinions of the four sex gender scientists, they all agree that his memo is based on scientific fact.
    what parts did you find whiny?
    where does he play victim?
    Passive aggressive whining: "If we can't have an honest discussion about this"
    Reference to "shaming culture" without clarifying specifically what that is.
    Bullet points on page three are worded to skew in his favor and to support his conclusions.
    Page 4 bullet points have some outdated verbiage, but I'm assuming he's new to the whole social science thing. I knew those guys in college; just focusing on the Computer Science classes.
    Page 5: "Social constructionist". A nicely loaded term, ambiguous enough to gain favor with conservative readers.
    Page 6: "google biases" bullet points. Left vague enough, but since it's the core of his complaint supposedly, shouldn't this be the main point of the whole thing? Why no detail?
    Page 7: The left "denies science concerning biological differences"? and the saying 'social sciences leans left', all the while previously he references social science research about differences between the sexes? Maybe he should've paused this memo until he got past the 100 level stuff.
    Page 7: Whining: "when a man complains about a gender issue issue affecting men, he’s labelled as a misogynist and a whiner". No. If you were able to communicate in any sort of adult way, you could speak to how each women's issue also carries an inverse, male issue.
    ​Page 8: Needs elaborations: "frequent shaming in TGIF and in our culture has created thesame silent, psychologically unsafe environment". What did you say? What did others say? How did you respond at the time?
    Page 8: what do conservatives want to say that they feel so threatened that they are unable to?
    Page 10: Whining: referencing backlash from mandatory unconscious bias training.
    ​
    .

    this will require me to be sober and in front of a keyboard..which is a rarity. stay tuned
    Now things are making sense.

    Bottom line is Google had right to do this as free speech does not apply within a company.  However, it is an extremely dangerous precedent.  The next time a woman gets fired or not promoted bc she "wrote an email to someone," remember the rights you didn't fight for this young man.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Your first sentence said he basically had no rights, then your last sentence suggests that he did have rights?

    Ok.  I will help you out his once.   He has rights.  Google was within its rights.   You can stand up for him if you don't want to see your rights trampled in the future.

    Sorry but the Supreme Court spoke on this issue quite awhile ago. But feel free to be outraged and start a petition on whitehouse.gov. It might make you feel better.

    Read up on the history of the Supreme Court decision before you blame liberals for suppressing "free speech." The faux outrage on the right is laughable. Big bad google. What doesn't outrage the right these days? Perpetually angry, incapable of having a conversation because they can't see past their "outrage." See Obama, AHCA. It's phony, it's bullshit and it helps keep the status quo. If you're not outraged, good for you. But try, just try to have a conversation with a conservative. Why all the shouting?

    Googles position seems to be that the memo was against the company values. Further that company property and time was spent to disseminate that memo as well. I dont recall them saying he didnt have the right to say, think, or believe what ever his heart desired. Just dont do it on the company dime.

    Exactly. Hence why I'm perplexed by the faux outrage. Imagine a mobile/Exxon employee circulating a 12 page memo about environmental degradation caused by oil exploration and drilling who happens to be a member of the Green Party. There'd be no rush to oppose their firing by conservatives on a free speech basis.

    some crazy stuff in the lawsuit!

    https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/james-damore-just-filed-a-class-action-lawsuit-against-google-saying-it-discriminates-against-white-male-conservatives/

    For instance, an employee who sexually identifies as “a yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin” and “an expansive ornate building” presented a talk entitled “Living as a Plural Being” at an internal company event

    Damore google lawsuit tidbits

    “Google furnishes a large number of internal mailing lists catering to employees with alternative lifestyles, including furries, polygamy, transgenderism, and plurality, for the purpose of discussing sexual topics. The only lifestyle that seems to not be openly discussed on internal forums is traditional heterosexual monogamy.”

    Google’s internal forums is traditional heterosexual monogamy.”
    “Alternate proposal: moratorium on hiring white cis heterosexual abled men who aren’t abuse survivors.”


    “At the in-person training, entitled ‘Bias Busting,’ Google discussed how biases against women exist in the workplace, and how ‘white male privilege’ exists in the workplace,” the suit reads. “The training was run by the ‘Unbiasing Group’ at Google.

    “You’re a misogynist and a terrible person,” read a late-night email from Alex Hidalgo, a Google engineer. “I will keep hounding you until one of us is fired. Fuck you.”

    “the point of this document is to disallow any defense at all that a man might make when some woman complains about bias. There is no defense. The woman is always right. The man has no alternative but to submit to her superior moral position. We have a word for that attitude, it’s called ‘sexism.'”

    “I’m a queer-ass nonbinary trans person that is fucking sick and tired of being told to open a dialogue with people who want me dead. We are at a point where the dialogue we need to be having with these people is ‘if you keep talking about this shit, i will hurt you.”

    allowing employees to create “blocklists” on their communications systems. “[Google] relies on crowdsourced harassment and ‘pecking’ to enforce social norms (including politics) that it feels it cannot write directly into its policies,” the suit states.

    “I (a white Googler), in an attempt to build a rapport with a Black Noogler and demonstrate my lack of ignorance of Black History, ended up whitesplaining Black History to him…thereby demonstrating my ignorance of Black History in the process. A few minutes later, feeling like a complete idiot, I went back to him and apologized for whitesplaining.”

    “I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team,” he wrote. “Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit or technically excellent or whatever. I will actively not work with you, even to the point where your team or product is impacted by this decision. I’ll communicate why to your manager if it comes up.”

    “You’re being blacklisted by people at companies outside of Google,” he added. “You might not have been aware of this, but people know, people talk. There are always social consequences.”


    “How do people cope with this?” one employee wrote. “I’ve never been part of a military or war effort before. … I don’t know how useful I’ll be.”

    Another advised: “Get in touch with your friendly local antifa. … I won’t say violence has no place, but if you are going to be doing anything risky, I can’t overemphasize the important of networking with people who’ve been thinking about scenarios like the one we’re in for years, and building relationships with them. We are only powerful if we organize.”

    Snowflakes be a melting in thkoe august heatwave of bluster. No legislative accomplishments to crow about, trump's approval tanking, his incompetence on full display and Mueller getting closer, 3D is the order of the day. Maybe Trump should buy google and run it more like trump university or his organization, like the Miss Universe pageant. Talk about nothingburger sandwiches?
