Okay, replace engineering with management and that's exactly the argument he made.

If it's internal then don't write shit that will get you fired. I think forwarding it is a shitty thing to do, but he should have kept in mind that potential.

He should have made a better argument then.

Well then doesn't he deserve what he gets? Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

Really, because "We have emails from coworkers saying they won't work you anymore, we have numerous news stories that paint this in a terrible light, we have internal emails that show we spent a stupid amount of time dealing with

I'd agree that's absurd, but what Damore did was worse from a company perspective.

Okay, but running to Molyneux is instant confirmation of the things people thought about him. and actually yes, do some prep work and go on a show that will be hostile. Not crazy, but potentially hostile. Someone who will reject the ideas a

It doesn't. At all. The issue is that it doesn't matter. Women might be less interested in tech, as in if you took 100 men and 100 women and measured their interest the men might be higher. That doesn't mean no women are inte
