Damore presented evidence to support his claim that women are on average less able than men in areas relevant to engineering.
He didn't. He just claimed that they are on average less interested in those areas. There is no mention at all of ability in the memo, only in the manipulated press pieces.
- salvar 9y agoHe did not state that women had a harder time leading than men? That seems like a mention of ability.
- yorwba 9y agoGoogle apparently already had a women-only program that was predicated on the assumption that women have a harder time leading than men. So it doesn't seem like Damore's claim was particularly unusual within Google.
- salvar 9y agoMy comment was to refute the statement that Damore never mentioned ability in his memo.
