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.
OK. We are on the same page. The idea of feminism that men and women are the same has taken hold even in conservative circles. I am all for merit-based competition, hiring or whatever. In some areas of life, women will do better and in other areas of life men will do better.
