I think this is a very good post. It's too bad people seem to have seized on the fact that you weren't aware that "neurotic" is a technical term in psychology.

I think this is a very good post. It's too bad people seem to have seized on the fact that you weren't aware that "neurotic" is a technical term in psychology. Since it's a word that has also been part of popular culture for decades, with a rather derogatory connotation, I think this is understandable, and I don't think Damore should have used it. I hadn't heard about people asking "what are you?". That is indeed infuriating. I don't think such people deserve any answer beyond "human".
