For the record, I found it a pity damore was fired, and I think he and timnit should be allies in this. A German feminist actually analysed his memo and while she disagreed with the evo-psych bits, she actually pointed out that his argument that diversity without changing work conditions by e.g. making part time the norm is hypocritical was actually a pretty valid critique.
In fact, I think you can argue both Timnit and Damore got fired for the same reasons:
- they pointed out that Google's efforts are hypocritical ethicswashing which gets discarded as soon as it actually affects the status quo
- they created bad PR
- they had no workers council or unions to back then up
