Except Damore didn't claim that stress was the overriding factor in the gender gap. Your rebuttal assumes that's his position.
- burkaman 9y agoRight, stress was just one of a few points, but the same argument can be used against each of the differences he references. Nothing he talked about was specific to software engineers. I think surgery is a perfect example because all of his arguments should apply even more to surgeons than they do to software engineers, but the numbers don't agree.
