Not true. In my mind, you are saying, look, bro, we know you think these things, but you are wrong.
Firing him validated his complaint that he couldn’t express himself, poor baby.
It also hurts women by treating us as damsels in distress or children in need of protecting from one dude, not our boss and no one who can impact us.
Google used women as an excuse to fire him. Fucking now we are damsels/tokens/shields/still not god damn engineers. What do we get out of it?
We dumped gasoline on an inferno. We cannot protect ourselves from these people. They are everywhere. I want to rocket their asses to the moon too, but I don’t have time for that shit.
I’d rather work with the guy. I’d rather not allow him to hurt me. I’d rather be confident in my knowledge and abilities. I’m not honoring myself if I give his words and garbage science any kind of power over me.
He didn’t bully any one individual person. He stated his moronic opinion. It was so poorly written and full of confirmation bias that it was humorous.
That’s the point where his manager should have started watching his work. Fire him for being a shit engineer — he was one — there’s no way he was any good at engineering.
I want to say, like Glinda in the wizard of oz:
“Now be gone before someone drops a house on you!”
To that moron and any idiot coming down that yellow brick road behind him. How you do that is through their reviews. How you identify them is not to fire the mayor of troll city so his minions go underground secretly having these opinions and passively aggressively acting out on women. If you are smart, you make it look like it is safe to say these things and set them up to lose their jobs through failure so they have no one to blame but themselves.
Now they are blaming women! We gave them ourselves as scapegoats.
Getting mad at Google and demanding his termination proved him right. And now everyone is using me. I don’t like being used.
