If we fall into the trap of conditional probability (“this person is a member of such-and-such-category, therefore this-is-frivolous-because-he-doesn't-need ...) we are committing precisely the kind of prejudiced stereotyping that diversity is supposed to avoid. It's quite telling that conditional probability is one of the hallmarks of rational thought.
Let's let them have their minutes in court, if a court considers their complaint to have merit. That's the whole point, isn't it? No point tossing out two cents’ worth around and about.

Having read the "Damore memo" and knowing it is not even a good rehash of bad arguments, and having seen this silly attempt at a gotcha-flip of actual grievances, (not to mention some apparently sincere whining about oppression from a position of dominance), I have little doubt about where it will end up, but even whiny revanchists deserve their day in court.
