The issue is that referring to these scientific results is "harassment" because they are unpleasant.

  > The issue is that referring to these scientific results is "harassment" because they are unpleasant. That the manner and context in which Damore referred to them is a violation of Google's reasonable anti-harassment policy does not mean that either that act, and even less referring to them more generally, is harassment. Necessarily, any anti-harasssment policy that will successfully prevent harassment liability seeks to, through means up to and including termination, prevent liability by dealing with acts before they reach the level at which legal harassment—a violation of the law by the employer—occurs. An anti-harassment policy that only addressed acts after the threshold for legal harassment was reached would be a very expensive failure.
