>Look at how upper management is already responding to this? "If he reported to me, I'd fire him myself"... Literally anyone who shares even partial agreement with his email is being blackballed.
But his reasoning for that is pretty legit though. If someone is willing to call a third of your colleagues incompetent to their face, I'm not sure how they'll be able to work together in that team and hope to actually make things happen. It's hard to expect the women on his team to continue working with him after he calls their competence into question after they've proved themselves by climbing to the same position he holds.
I feel like the reasons for the firing were not that he had different views, it was that he did not have the tact to approach this problem properly, and handled it really badly. There are much better ways to have a discussion around this than this manifesto, and those are discussions worth having. But not this one, this is just inciting a flame war.
