If you want to discrimate based on sex so that two wrongs may make one right.. (historical revenge ? letting young men suffer for the sins of their fathers??) … you should have a lot better evidence for the supposed remaining “Discarding of women”. It is not the 1900s anymore. Employment and earning numbers for young women do not support your idea.
Granted, my rl experience is from europe where schools and universities drain in special girls programs, extra all-girl-courses, women-only-scholarships. Female professors and doctorat-candidates are wildly prefered. Showing off good quotas is very important to get funding. The picture isnt that much different in companies, female tech graduates are very welcomed. The “dismissal” just does not manifest in reality anymore.
I dont buy that it is so much different at Google.
When writing my last comment i thought the guy “might get fired”… now it has actually happened.
Luckily Employment protection in europe is much stronger and political firings are against the law. Probably bc there is just more historical experience with opressive regimes going after ppl “work allowance” for wrongthink.
Unfortunately almost everything that happens in the US sooner or later also comes to us, so this is a warning sign for everybody worldwide.
The future will see non-democratically elected corporate bigshots decide over the lifes of most people. And once again the popolation has to be worried not to say the wrong thing when authorities are listening. Except the authorities of the future now control most public communication.
Being fired for stating some statistics and voicing political opinions ist just soooo f****d up. The fact that the americans cheering this firing are called “liberal” is also really twisted.
And no, i dont think the biological arguments in the memo have much value, but making them is also not a crime.
