This is it. The intimidation is real; look at what happened to James Damore.
- gizmo385 6y agoWhat is your interpretation of what happened to James Damore? I would guess you and I have different opinions on what exactly took place, but I'm not sure either of us can presume that our opinions on those situations reflect the ground truth of what actually happened.
- Manuel_D 6y agoMy interpretation was that Damore said that forcing 50/50 outcomes is discrimination, and more broadly the claim that all gender disparities are entirely caused by bias is not correct. He laid out specific discriminatory policies (representation OKRs, coaching candidates for interviews but only if they belong to underrepresented demographics) and asked the company to stop. The depiction of the memo in the media was that he said women weren't as intelligent as men. Even though he explicitly called out that this is not what he was saying, he referred only to innate factors influencing preferences not intelligence.
