I think he meant well but the fact that he didnt understand how his article would have been interpreted or that it was a bad idea to distribute at work is kind of crazy to me.


This. Damore found a lot of sympathy on this board back when it happened and I'm not surprised given how certain people here present their arguments.

It's not enough to be "right", especially on a subject like this. You also have to be able to present carefully.


Can you think of a way to present, basically, "Men and women have different behavioral tendencies, priorities, and preferences. At least some of them are based in biological differences. Here are some suggestions on how to better accommodate prospective women employees." that would be better than the way he did it? In a way that wouldn't upset the types of people even that innocuous type of statement upsets?

The biggest shame is how we had mainstream news media outlets either deliberately misrepresenting his writing to malign him or completely failing to do their due diligence out of some sense of, I imagine, spite and idealogical indignation.
