> Aren't you engaging in identity politics yourself by pulling out this argument? No, that's a complete non-sequitur from what they said.

  What they said is a non-sequitur from the topic. It is a desperate attempt to inject their politics into this discussion by grasping at straws.

    How is it a "non-sequitur from the topic"? Damore is by far the most famous case of a Googler trying to flag issues internally via the provided channels and being fired in retaliation for doing so. It is literally the first case that came to mind when I read the headline. It's bizarre how such an obvious point is being described as grasping at straws, a non-sequitur etc.

      Damore's Complaint also brought to light quite a bit of politically-motivated cyber-harrassment occurring (and sometimes being outright planned) on Google's intranet "forums", in some cases with some degree of acquiescence from middle management being at least implied. But apparently, even the notions of "harrassment" and "causing a toxic work environment", which are rightly enshrined in labor law, can fall prey to double standards.
