Did you read his letter? He basically said that Google shouldn't try to achieve whatever quota was their goal regarding female software engineers because of the bell curve distribution. The lamestream media have, as usual, distorted what he actually wrote.

The women who have the aptitude and ability for software engineering are not "biologically worse" than men in those jobs. There are fewer of them percentage-wise, which was one of his points.

My beef is about the phrasing in this article not the original letter. I don’t know if Damore is conservative or not. Of course women who have the aptitude for the work are not biologically impaired. These conservative articles are blowing by that. I also heard this recently on conservative talk radio, starting with “women are equal to men in this area” then proceeding to talk about Damore’s firing. I guess I have a beef with it because it is the basis for affirmative action admissions/hiring.
