CMV: James Damore, who wrote the essay about diversity at Google, cited science that proves some women do not choose roles in tech due to differences in their biology. His sources show that gendered personality differences lead some women to choose non-tech jobs.

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion.  What Damore wrote should be considered sound research since he included plenty of sources.

It seems like the media is intentionally lying about this in order to push their leftist narrative.

Specifically, I think the science he references is sound and supports all of his conclusions.

I doubt anyone here can change my view, but it's being discussed every day with many people on both sides of the argument, and I'd like to hear some thoughts outside of the major threads, which tend to swing one way or the other.

Cherry picking a bunch of scientific facts to support a theory you have is not sound research. It's called confirmation bias.

There are a few scientists who have come out and said some of the individual facts in his memo are correct, but there are far more scientists who have debunked his entire premise about there being any significant biological differences between men and women that would make one or the other better suited to tech work, or to choose or not choose tech work.

More importantly, this entire issue has nothing to do with scientific fact. It is in the people skills, human relationships domain.

No adult with any common sense expects to say something like: 

"Blacks are on average [insert negative here]"

or

"Jews are on average [insert negative here]"

And to be able to keep their job at any sizeable company.

Harassment and intimidation of other employees has zero relationship to whether or not something is factual. How would you expect *any* woman at Google to feel comfortable getting a peer review from this guy after having read "Women on average have more neuroticism" and that's why they aren't as well suited to tech jobs?
