| This was way beyond that. I read Zunger's article. Getting offended is in large part a choice. I apply the golden rule. If an Asian guy wrote a similar article for arguing why Asian people are over-represented at Google compared to white people, I would not take offense. Maybe he would be wrong, but if he wrote in the tone of the original article I would not call for his firing or say that I couldn't work with him. mostly in the form of conservative-leaning folk who thought they should be allowed to say whatever they pleased because "freedom of speech." A cry bully is someone who tries to get other people fired or de-platformed because they claim personal offense. Did these conservatives call for people to get fired? Did they succeed? If not, then good, I'm gladd their cry-bullying attempts were ignored. And yet, this guy who is openly telling the world he doesn't trust females to be as interested as he is in the job should be applauded? There is a enormous difference between noticing on average differences and direct personally targeted invective against a specific employee. not on discarding resumes because the candidate is a white male You are making up the straw man because that is not what he claims they are doing. |
If a woman at Google had written this, the conversation would be similar to what you describe. This is a man making a generalization about women. Key difference.

That's exactly what they would do, taking offense on all kinds of "liberal messaging." And yes, I'm glad they were ignored.

Then what is he claiming they are doing? (It's a trick question)
