80/80

The man was speaking nothing but facts and was the only one in the story that was actually coming up with legitimate ways to help women in the industry. I see the same things happening with Jordan Peterson, but Peterson is obviously far better equipped to refute the trolls and haters than Damore is, seeing as how he's on the spectrum and doesn't have the expertise in the right things to battle an army of haters.

What bugs me is that, even if his proposals were wrong (and bits of his proposal did seem off), it was pretty thought out and presented an actual, tangible argument.

But rather than dressing what he said, or why his proposals for diversity were wrong, news outlets misrepresented a couple of lines and painted him as this bitter, degenerate, woman hating dude. Rather than a guy who had the same ideal for diversity but thought the system was flawed.

Even NPR fell for the "he's a misogynist" meme. I was salty because I usually love them. >_>

I skimmed his memo and listened to his interview on JRE. Even if his memo was 100% factually accurate, I think it still would have been received the same.

Im going to be real careful of what I say and I mean nothing offensive by this, but I believe that the guy has some sort of condition that has left him with very impaired social skills, and the memo shows a profound lack of self-awareness and extreme social ineptitude.

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. Plus I do recall feeling that a bunch of his points were kind of dumb and poorly worded but its been a while since I read it

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.

He's on the spectrum, I mentioned that in the OP, he has what was known as Asperger's. And he didn't just write this memo of his own volition, they asked him for feedback after their hilariously ignorant diversity meeting so he did exactly what they asked him to.

For what tho? To avoid public shaming and the ruining of your life? Cuz that's what happened to this guy, all for doing exactly what he was asked to do. That's obviously way too extreme for whatever "mistakes" he made. Plus like I said, everyone ignores how he was the only one actually presenting practical solutions to the gender diversity issue. And somehow he's shunned as misogynist.

Yeah, an actual open minded leftist that doesn't just blindly follow the party lines like you. Why don't you actually show me what about his memo suggests that leftists should oppose it?

Oh wait, every time I challenge you to make an actual argument like a grown up you just troll more and bail. Just stop stalking me kid, it'll be better for both of us.

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.

The only issue I see is that he used the term "Neuroticism" without explaining to people that that's an actual scientific term that he is using correctly. But this is an old story, if people are still ignorant about this story, they'll never change.

So you don't care what he was saying, just how he said it? Really man point out the "bullshit" you're referring to. Or just say anything of substance. I'm looking for answers here.

It's really hard to point out the specific bullshit because the entire document is bullshit and I don't know where to start.

To me, that memo is not at all about suggestions on how to better accommodate women / men as separate groups. It's literally just a loquacious way of saying "DARR ESS JAY DUBBAYOOS ARE RUININ ERRYTING"

The entire document is also founded on several axioms that are patently incorrect all the way up to the title. It places blame for the problem on biases while neglecting to mention that the prevalent right-bias is to refuse to acknowledge a problem even exists and then to reframe it as "the real problem is that you're alienating people don't think there's a problem with mistreatment of genders"

James Damore can go fuck himself. He's a piece of shit pseudo intellectual and professional victim.

Funny how when you're challenged to actually find something in the memo to criticize you can't do it.... And we both know why. Look at how silly you were acting, big capital letters talking about SJWs when they're not part of the memo at all. They're just a distraction from the fact that you can't actually back up your argument with facts.

Come up with an actual argument.

Whats there to know? He took some research about Big Five personality models and tried to infer that this research indicates that women arent biologically equipped to work in tech. He was wrong, he didnt understand the research, and he jumped to conclusions that didnt have any evidential support in the research literature he (without citing) based his critique on.

He got fired for being a nonce, then tried to sue his former employer because hes a nonce.

so uhhh yeah, no.... this guy is a piece of shit.

Yeah, might as judge him as a person not by his own words, but of those by the company that fired him lmao. You literally googled a person that is fighting with google.... Dude, do better.

Oh so you don't understand or didn't read his memo at all, gotcha. Weird how he'd include ways of evening the gender divide if he believed women aren't biologically equipped to work in tech. If you don't understand sarcasm, its plainly obvious that you're simply regurgitating the character assassination that I was alluding to with this topic. Nowhere did he say women are incapable of working in tech. The fact that people like you are still fooled by such nonsense is why I made this topic, you'd think people would have actually done some research by now and realized their mistakes. But I guess you haven't.

Btw, all of his research was cited, google removed the citations when they reposted his memo in an effort to trick people like you into buying their narrative. That's just one of the many ways you've been duped.

"He basically said I don't want women anywhere a computer" No... no he didn't you cathy newman wannabee.

Instead of actually debating and trying to refute what he wrote they just take the lazy approach and attack the strawman.

The worst part is that even guys that aren't total shills like David Pakman still went the cathy newman route when interviewing him. Dunno what it is about some nerdy google engineer that triggers everyone in the media. He was basically to left wing media what that socialist chick from new york is to fox news.

"He basically said I don't want women anywhere a computer" No... no he didn't you cathy newman wannabee.

Instead of actually debating and trying to refute what he wrote they just take the lazy approach and attack the strawman.

This is the problem with people who are told what to think and then stick by that despite having absolutely no clue why they believe what they believe. CNN learned it from Fox News who is the real king of bullshit, but CNN disappointingly has followed suit with nonsense like this.

no clue who this guy is. googled him and this is what came up:

"ames Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired in August after posting a memo to an internal Google message board arguing that women may not be equally represented in tech because they are biologically less capable of engineering,"


so uhhh yeah, no.... this guy is a piece of shit.


That is actually not an accurate description of the contents of his memo. There was a very egregious misrepresentation of him in the media that is embarrassingly obvious to anyone who has actually read the memo.

He talks about differences between men and women that seem to be rooted in biology and makes some suggestions on how to better accommodate women and make the tech field more attractive to them. Because Google wants to hire more women in tech positions and treating men and women like they have the same preferences, priorities, and behavioral tendencies hasn't been working.

Basically, Google wants to hire more women in those STEM jobs, but hasn't been able to attract them because they're only presenting those jobs in a form that is attractive to men. He suggests some changes to make them more attractive to women and people lost their shit. Apparently because he suggested that men and women have inherently different tendencies and certain idealogies are very opposed to that notion, so they had to destroy his career and reputation.

Don't waste your time, Google already let him know what his opinion is.
