Protesting. She's around 30. She could totally be hired by Google, not for engineering, but could have been a great engineer too if that's what she was interested in doing, she's got better IQ and math ability than most engineers I've worked with. I'll rate her 100% representative.

At the age of 30 she is not literally a girl. So I'm assuming you mean she's as immature and/or intellectually limited as if she were a female child. And that's because she smiles while being arrested for disrupting the peace/resisting arrest+disobeying police (people aren't arrested on allegations of, or arraigned or charges of "protesting")? Does that make this smiling arrested man a "boy"? http://t.co/9QAI4voo1M http://t.co/9QAI4voo1M I don't think everyone would agree that someone's opinion of or behavior towards law enforcement implies something useful about their rationality (or lack of) when it comes to gender issues. But giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming this person truly is an immature fool, why would you think that someone you know in a personal capacity grants you insight to mindsets the Google Mountain View employees whom you don't know at all, or to their reasoning for hating Damore's memo? Just because I know some Asians who are fucking terrible at PHP doesn't bestow me with special insight about Facebook (powered in part by its high proportion of Asian programmers) service outages and security fuckups.

  I said the girl could smile about it to indicate that she's one tough bitch. Not some wuss that pisses her pants over breakfast. This increases the plausibility that Googlers who took a day at home really did feel offended, to a substantial degree that made them stay home, and were not " quote offended unquote" as the parent post suggested.

    So you know a woman who is tough as nails, but has a "meltdown" when her worldview about gender/feminism is challenged. And from that you infer that some women at Google, despite being Google-caliber (in terms of engineering, or toughness, or whatever) are also prone to have genuine emotional meltdowns because they, like your friend, "just haven't hit certain developmental milestones", which include being able to "think about the universe without an evil genius rewriting everything to fit your fractally wrong worldview" So where are you on the trail of developmental milestones and worldviews? Because believing that women, whom you know nothing about nor have ever met, can be explained based on your observations of an irrational woman you know in NYC, that seems like a worldview more influenced by solipsism and arrogance than empiricism and logic.

      I'm far enough down the trail I don't strut around with a stick up my ass.
