From what I've read they were offended at his views on women. Views that never seemed to be expressed in his professional life.

Seems very wrong to me. We don't need thought police. He should be judged on his professional actions not private beliefs.

He has beliefs from gorean philosophy, that are something along the lines of women submitting to men. While many wouldn't agree with him, those same views are present in many religions, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and many others. If he managed to work with women without any problems why was he kicked off the project?

The responses allude to something they refuse to disclose, but it all seems very wrong to me. People should be free to believe what they want.
