The Damore thread should have plenty of material, but its kind of boring to see the same people lie about the Google Memo, get corrected, and then go back to lying.
Yeah. You mean like this?
https://www.resetera.com/posts/2998331/I hope the judge is a women, the defense team are women and even the bailiff is a woman if this does go to court. I want him surrounded by the people he considers inferior and lesser.
Or this?
He got fired because he legitimately considered women inferior in his workplace.
I love the use of the word 'legitimate' here. What he is implying with this post is, he was
rightly fired because he believes women are inferior. Using the word 'legitimate' though, means there is something
legitimate about the argument women are inferior (lol). I've seen this a lot actually; people incorrectly using 'legitimately' when really they mean 'genuinely'.
That said, stuff like this is really not worth bothering with because there is always a level of insincerity in people's arguments. There could well be something in the memo that is contested or very much up for debate. These people will go digging for anything and if they find it, will use it to prove he is full of shit. What makes them insincere though is, you can bet that a lot of these people would actually stop at the notion there are differences with men and women full stop, yet this is the least contentious bit. It doesn't really matter what is right or wrong with the memo because they don't agree with the basic premise to begin with.
Of course in terms of the posts I quoted, he never once suggested in the memo that women were inferior. He merely stated that there are differences between men and women, and that in order to increase the number of women in tech it would be better to accommodate those differences.
This was a good article actually about the way the Google memo was misreported.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/the-most-common-error-in-coverage-of-the-google-memo/536181/I think a number of people in this thread should read it. Of course, you're right, they would read it, then ignore what they just read, and go back to talking shit again.
