I've heard it was illegal for Google to keep him on. Here's what I've found online:
> Explicit protections against ... sexually hostile work environments, ... discrimination against unlawful sex stereotypes

I would love to see a response from a lawyer. My understanding as a layperson is:
1. He is saying that biological differences explain why fewer women go into tech. That is not true, here is the best point-by-point analysis I've seen on it: https://www.quora.com/What-do-scientists-think-about-the-biological-claims-made-in-the-anti-diversity-document-written-by-a-Google-employee-in-August-2017/answer/Suzanne-Sadedin https://www.quora.com/What-do-scientists-think-about-the-bio...
2. If you are a manager, and you ignore this analysis and agree that there is a biological difference, you can use that to explain why you aren't hiring/promoting women: it's not you, it's biology!
- fche 9y ago> That is not true, here is the best point-by-point analysis But that is pretty crappy analysis, throwing your conclusion into doubt. > it's not you, it's biology! What if that is literally true somewhere in the causal chain? Is it good to put managers into terror at having to justify hiring Top Men?
