There’s a quote: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”. It’s misattributed to Aristotle, but it’s a worthwhile thought. You’ve written a lot, but said nothing to address any of Mr. Damore’s statements head on, with an argument as to why he’s incorrect, just that his ideas are bad and create negative emotions in you.
I don't agree with some of his memo, but if I was to sit down and write something against it, I'd try to consider what he'd said rationally, without language like "repugnant" and "beyond stupid". I agree that we're not robots, but if we don't put reason before emotion, we're also not adults.
As to your last question, I really won't have a problem working with him.
