From Google To Yahoo, Tech Grapples With White Male Discontent (bloomberg.com)
Reader joshtops shares a Bloomberg report: Google isn't the only Silicon Valley employer being accused of hostility to white men. Yahoo and Tata Consultancy Services were already fighting discrimination lawsuits brought by white men before Google engineer James Damore ignited a firestorm -- and got himself fired -- with an internal memo criticizing the company's diversity efforts and claiming women are biologically less suited than men to be engineers. The Yahoo case began last year when two men sued, claiming they'd been unfairly fired after managers allegedly manipulated performance evaluations to favor women. They claim Marissa Mayer approved the review process and was involved in their terminations, and last month a judge ordered the former chief executive be deposed. TCS, meanwhile, is fighting three men who claim the Mumbai-based firm discriminates against non-Indians at its U.S. offices.
Women in power are quite often downright evil.
At Google, we talk so much about unconscious bias as it applies to race and gender, but we

media, and Google lean left, we should critically examine these prejudices:
He constantly talks about "psychological facts" which he is either unable or unwilling to cite. What citations he does provide are usually to summaries of single surveys. And mostly he spends his time saying that mandatory bias training is scaring off the conservative snowflakes. Stop pretending that this document was on par with the origin of species. It was a rant, that's all.
I know that he refers to himself as a "classical liberal", but, as I have said before, cramming feathers up your ass does not make you a duck.
