That's simply not true. I'm going to assume you are repeating things you've read in articles written by journalists, who I noticed lied repeatedly about the contents of Damore's memo. If you're curious about what it really says you can read it here:

For example, you say: "You need to treat people as individuals"
Damore agrees with you. He said:
"I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)."
and
"Many of these differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions."
You say:
I think he got fired because he called the entire category of female employees generally poor performers
But Damore said:
"Note, I’m not saying that all men differ from all women in the following ways or that these differences are “just.”
So he said the opposite of "the entire category", he explicitly said he was talking about statistical observations that aren't true in many cases.
He also had some not terribly pleasant truths to drop about men:
"This may lead to more male CEOs and geniuses, but also more homeless males and school dropouts. This has likely evolved because individual males can have many children and are biologically disposable."
But nobody seems to remember that.
