>Give examples.
Read page 6 of Damore's memo. He gives a number of very serious examples.
>Do you personally feel that a field where 80% of the workforce is male (vs a 50/50 split in overall demographics) is "actively discriminating against hiring males? I find that argument very, very, VERY difficult to defend.
What are you not understanding here? If 20% of qualified applicants are female, but 30% of new hires are female, you must be discriminating against men. A 50/50 split would require severe discrimination. Damore suggested they were lowering hiring standards and setting arbitrary quotas. I find this very, very, VERY difficult to defend.

Thing is, you don't have these numbers. And you are making them up, to push your narrative. Which is another massive flaw on Damore's argument: he's trying to solve a problem he doesn't even know exists. > Damore suggested they were lowering hiring standards and setting arbitrary quotas. Damore suggested based on assumptions. I find that very, very, VERY difficult to defend.
- Houshalter 9y agoSo, can we at least agree that gender quotas etc are bad?
- dguaraglia 9y agoSure. I never said they'd be good. There's also no proof they exist, so there's that.
