Everything I actually read about the memo (and I didn't read it besides some points) is: - Some Points are valid - Some Points are discussable (that's why this post was created, wasn't it?) but nearly none addresses them as totally invalid. I mean even in this post of ycombinator the person in question couldn't straight said "No! This is wrong" and back it up with data. I just don't get the whole gender/race discussions, but if such a memo can exists and things like gender diversity programs do exists, than something is probably really really wrong. But with one thing I disagree with her, firing him was not the right thing to do, at least not directly. I mean wouldn't it be better to just discuss this, probably in the open, with him, the company and even more and make a great discussion panel? I mean with just firing him, they actually just ignored all points, even valid ones.
