There’s absolutely nothing new about that. On major topics there were public witch hunts and blacklists, ex McCarthyism.
This guy didn’t engage in debate though, he posted a memo that really doesn’t open a door to dialogue. And as someone who runs an organization, the workplace is not the place for an open debate on gender and diversity. That’s only appropriate for a closed door session.
His decision to quickly go on to make a round of videos with Alt-right activists and anti-feminists spoke volumes in my opionion. He didn’t try to engage with people with alternate views, he engaged with people that hold even more extreme views.
