, how would you have felt about contining to work alongside Mr. Damore
Fine, because he stated he wants people to be treated as individuals and not as a group. So, I would expect him to treat me as an individual not as walking genitalia generalizations.
knowing now that he likely felt you had got your job through what he viewed as prejudiced and unfair hiring practices
This is a sad truth to affirmative action. If there aren't enough of X and you lower the bar or create quotas for more X then you will inevitably create a view that is critical because you could be an X that got in because lower standard or quotas, not merit.
How would you feel if you were given a job because of your genitals and not the merits to do the job?
Does he really have no clue about? I bet he has more clue than you (even if he doesn't have a phd). If that document offends anyone they are very thinned skinned.
I've been able to survive this long as a software engineer without discussing castration in any email or company blog posts. It's really not very difficult.
It's inevitably going to be brought up if there are conversations about sex, gender, and transgender. What are you saying? That open dialogue about issues that seem important to the people that parade it are not important because castration?
If your CEO has to cancel a vacation because
Poor CEO. If only we all understood his pain... I would cry a river for him but I have had too many vacations cancelled because of management and CEO actions. Big deal he has to actually work once in a while. Don't we all?
Plus SC2 had a nice switch-up from Raynor saving Kerrigan and to vise-versa.
Yea, no. The story amounted to "the power of love saved Raynor from his alcoholism for someone he knew briefly and she returned the favor and suddenly fell in love too". All the hatred, betrayal and past motivations of the characters were whisked away when they changed it to a love story. I don't mind a love story in my sci fi... but between the shit in sc1 compared to sc2... Ugh. There is a reason why Raynor was rotting in the bottom of a bottle and it wasn't love for Kerrigan. Or to put another way. He went from a backwoods marshal, to an important rebel leader, to an outcast that lost everything in part because of Kerrigan.
"I'm going to be the man that kills you one day Kerrigan." - Raynor.....4 years later..:3 ilu be my waifu! 3 3
The sc2 story was 'meh' at best with the rehashed "old ones are coming back prophecy. the end is nigh" that is overly used by blizzard.
Intelligence isn't measured by what political positions or candidates you support. Idiots and smart people on both sides. The difference, at least for politics, between smart and dumb people is how they support their position. Any idiot can band wagon the approved groupthink. Smart people make their own conclusions and are able to defend them with logic, reason, and facts.
You're obviously an idiot that strawmans arguments and stereotypes people. No wonder averages in populations scare you. You can't see people as individuals but rather generalize and stereotype group attributes to an individual.
You can't shoot him for that. So what would the US response be to an EMP?
Uh, it's more akin to pointing a laser at a driver and blinding him while at the wheel. People would die from that. The result would be war.
Even if we shot down the nuke before it hit a US territory (Guam) or ally would mean war. If NK demonstrates that they will shoot off nukes for whatever reason then all pretenses for diplomacy are off because they have demonstrated an act of nuclear aggression and we don't want to rely on THAAD to ensure millions don't die at the whims of dear leader.
Which thinking about seems kind of cynical. Who would want to capture the organ that pumps delicious life force? With their beady eyes, blood stained claws, and sharp teeth stalking menacing waiting for the right time to pounce.......
OMG. They're evil. I have seen hell and it is overseen by cats.

I guess it's because I never heard nursing described as "stressful life and death" but fair enough. However, it doesn't really matter because of the nature of the work, people, would attract different people. Each occupation comes with its own stressors even the stay at home mom. Trying to use an average to determine an individual characteristic is useless and you don't make a company policy of treating the individual as a group. Different careers attract different people with different interests.
You still haven't listed sources debunking his claims. Regardless of the solutions derived from his claims (more people oriented and no discrimination), the point is if you have a faulty premise your conclusion will probably be wrong. Google has a faulty premise to describe the gender gap and their solution to fix that is flawed.
You and the google execs are the same as climate denialists. Deny science because it disagrees with your preconceived notions.
Because it's about averages. Because it is backup with empirical evidence. Because it isn't negative in and of itself. Because men are neurotic as well because of individual variation. Even stereotypes can be true but what matters is what you do with it. For example the original memos suggestion on how to help google and women in tech. Why do you think it is a negative stereotype and when are stereotypes true?
It's the sort of thing that leads to men being dismissed as thinking with their dicks.
Is that a negative stereotype that you are perpetuating? Sexist.

It is hardly a "fact" that women are inferior to men in programming or whatever he was on about.
Why do you and others keep parading this lie?

I doubt it... Lot's of googlers on social media wanting blood.
Is the statement factually wrong?

Manifesto implies an action. You can technically apply that but that is disingenuous to any written feedback for any corporate or political policy.
If you think his suggestions to improve google were bad then there's no helping you.
It's a trap! /Admiral Akbar

A swing and a miss.
There seems to be more than usual for this subject. I don't get it.
