I can not understand the argument here, underlying this argument is an assumption that any questioning of assumptions such as ‘Women and Men are the same’, ‘all people are equal’ is inherently sexist, racist or wrong. I cant see how that is sensible.

What Google have done is cave in to fear of being targeted by people who place dogma over inquisitive thought, they have caused real harm to an individual in order to avoid causing mild annoyance to others and put their corporate image before what is right — really right, not just ‘PC right’.

Denying someone the right to ask questions and try to find answers by quoting unsupported dogma is always counter productive, it didn’t work for the catholic church in the 1400’s, nor for the USSR in the 1980’s and it does not work to quiet bigots or sexists now.

Supporting the witch hunt against this guy is dumb and counter productive — this is the kind of thing that CAUSED the Trump presidency and the Alt Right backlash.

Think this through again, what if the things that the Google guy wrote are correct? just as a thought experiment, would it still be correct to persecute him and take away his livelihood for saying them?

Can you prove he is wrong?, not just assert that you believe him to be wrong?
