Some are saying the manifesto is an attack on women and that Google is right in firing its author. Others are calling it an attack on free speech. What do you think?

That's reality.
It's single digits of the population who are wired for this kind of work.
I have no idea whether it's more men or more women but we are ALL statistical anomalies.
Is he right that the average woman isn't a good for in this industry? Yes.
But same is true of the average man.
It's completely wrong to look at average traits to decide who is the best fit for an industry that selects decidedly non average people.
Everybody gets that there are no right answers, and that decisions are made on imperfect information.
Then they can go after the Indians or something.
That said, I consider them morally bankrupt along with the shitstorm media that grossly misrepresented the memo's contents for purposes of click bait.
Btw, I'm not a conservative and I don't fully agree with the memo's contents. I've just read enough books on evolutionary psychology and philosophy of science to respect other people's opinions when they are presented in a respectful and coherent manner.
