This memo doesnt claim at any point that women should not be in tech. It just presents some reasons why there are less women in tech than men. Reasons that are not only sexism and patriarchy.

But it does claim that Google created environment, where people who dont perfectly align with left leaning echo chamber talking points, cant safely express their opinions anymore.

And Googles decision to pander to left leaning echo chamber and fire the guy proved his point.

If you actually read the memo, and not only misinterpretation of it on pro feminist blogs, you would see that he was very careful with words and there isnt single sentence showing his misogyny. All his controversial claims are sourced and he pointed out that this are not his personal opinions.

He even used graphs to show that he doesnt approve generalizations based on average. https://video-images.vice.com/_uncategorized/1502146696203-S...

What you are looking at is a clever guy (former chess champion), who pushed left PC SJW Google to shoot themselves in the foot. He knew what result will be. Google echo chamber activists bullied HR so they needed to fire him. Accusing him of things like misogyny, that cant be proved on court, is enough for character assassination in SJW echo chambers. But in court room where biased interpretation of his memo and words like "anti-women manifesto" or "anti-diversity screed" wont be allowed, he has the upper hand. He has all he needs to prove he was fired unfairly.

I have read it. And you can't slap some paragraphs about not being sexist in there, then say a bunch of sexist things, and have it be OK. Just to take one example:

"Women on average look for more work-life balance while men have a higher drive for status on average"

A non-sexist comparison between men on women would be "women on average are not as tall as men". Do you see the difference? There are so many baked-in sexist assumptions to this statement I barely know where to begin, but to name one, I'll point out that women weren't allowed (by law and by culture) to even hold high-status jobs until very recently.

Not sure whats so sexist about that statement.

Women traditionally raise children and take care of nest, while men provide resources for family. On average. It can be different, but this is how most families function.

This is the same as women on average are not as tall as man. Its true in most cases, but not always.

Feminist alike always assume that statements like this somehow assume that women are inferior, and to counter this many feminists try to convince women to start acting more masculine. Which is quite ironic actually.

This statement doesnt mean women are inferior. Men actually like women for this traits like patience, compassion, attention to details; because they lack this traits.

There is no need to be upset. Men like femininity at women. On average.

It's so easy for these conversations to go horribly wrong in this format, so please keep that in mind and try to hear what I'm saying. Just because something is done "traditionally" doesn't mean it isn't sexist. Your statement begs the question: WHY do women traditionally work in the home?
