> The Damore memo was anti-diversity

How so? I've read it; but maybe my own biases prevent me from seeing an "anti-diversity" theme.

I've have read the mischaracterizations of it online, for example:

> "circulating a memo discussing the biological inferiority of his female colleagues" [1]

Yet, reading it, I see absolutely no claim in the memo that supports that idea.

The quote you're looking for is "I’m simply stating that the distribution of ... abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes."
Those three dots are doing a lot of work.
