Damore provided copious evidence that Google was hostile to his demographic, those sexual assault protests showed that it was hostile to women, this shows that it's hostile to minorities... It sounds like Google is a battlefield where everybody is getting shot by everyone else. At least it's not divided into perpetrators and victims along identity lines.

No demographic is known to be "hostile dicks" to another demographic. There are individuals of every demographic that cover the "dick spectrum" on any particular issue. Issuing blanket statements about everyone of a particular demographic is racist/sexist/ageist....


> When your demographic is known to be hostile dicks

Pause on what you just wrote. Substituting "your demographic" with an explicit call out of a race or gender would be openly racist/sexist, would it not?


Many would argue that it depends on the race/sex. They would also fail to grasp the irony of their argument.


Ironically this article is still referring to Damore’s memo as an “anti-diversity memo”. What an overt falsehood. There are lots of valid criticisms of his memo, but this isn’t one of them.
