No, women aren’t inferior intellectually. Furthermore, nobody here nor google guy made that claimed that.
The Google guy actually is claiming this TyGuy..
This is where the argument breaks down.. Because he's clearly saying that women lack the same ability to independently act as software developers due to biological differences that relate to their intellect and their intellectual capability to act in that capacity.
There are biological differences though, and I don’t see why differences is a bad thing.
Biological differences in their capacity to reason with respect to abstract thought and logic? Are men more intellectually capable than women in these areas?
This isn't about right or wrong, or ethics; I'm just trying to understand if people are willing to be upfront and honest about this topic, or are we going to beat around the bush talking about unspecified, opaque, and obfuscated "differences."
Given free choice men and women pick different fields.
But that has nothing to do with Damore's argument. He's specifically talking about people in the same field and why he thinks men excel and are more productive than women.
Google guy to me wrote that as a way to increase the so called diversity for which Google is desperately trying to achieve.
That's only one part of Damore's manifesto, Ty; I'm talking about the part that he actually got fired for -- which relates to his claims about female programmers and their ability to do their jobs..
Google is too concerned with equality of outcome when in reality all there should be is equality of opportunity.
Huh? I'm not sure what you mean here?
