NPR: Women at Google were so upset over memo citing biological differences they skipped work
Twitchy ^ | August 8, 2017 | Brett T.

As Twitchy reported, the Google employee who wrote an “anti-diversity memo” suggesting biological differences between men and women are the reason there are fewer women in technical fields was fired, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the controversy with his own memo saying the employee had crossed the line by “advancing harmful gender stereotypes.”

The problem extends a ways beyond Silicon Valley, unfortunately.

Excepting the home-grown businesses such as Ben and Jerry's where corporate ideology has shadowed the founders' own politics, it's fairly obvious that many if not most large corporations are beholden to their largest customers, one of which is located in that swampy area in a district carved out of the boundary between the states of Virginia and Maryland.

If I had a dollar for every government employee or federal contractor required to undergo "diversity training" to remain employed I'd be a rich man. (Oh, I can't use that term. I'd be a wealthy human person citizen.)

“It is way past time for those of us who are sane to take back the IT industry”
~*~
I would like to expand your comment to:
It is way past time for those of us who are sane to take back the United States of America!
That includes ALL of it’s institutions and Governments.

As a STEM career lady myself, it is appalling to hear of these ‘ladies’ denying basic science, common sense, and behaving like spoiled babies.

Unfortunately, as many of you know, it is not just women who have been riding that ‘crazy train’ for way too long. And not just the younger ones either. Extreme sensitivity and self-absorbency appears to be the norm.

God Help us.

I would also like to add:
Thank God for the Biological differences between Men and Women!

Wow, what if our girls in uniform go that memo? Would they desert?

The document this guy wrote is likely to go down in history as one of the most significant treatises of the 21st century, for bursting the groupthink bubble.

Amen to everything you said. I see it daily. I have to bite my tongue because I have a mortgage. But it sickens me nonetheless, and I dearly miss honesty and sanity here in a world gone mad.

The company apparently had blacklists, too.

...the employee had crossed the line by “advancing harmful gender stereotypes.”

Stereotypes are based on facts; facts are truth. TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

He was fired for "advancing harmful gender stereotypes."

Whatever that means. He wasn't advancing "harmful" sexual stereotypes. He was referring to biological differences between the sexes.
