I count 34 sources and 3 graphs that were completely omitted by journalists and conveniently tuned out by all the know-it-alls who said he cited zero sources and were therefor more qualified to assert their reasoning on this subject than a Harvard trained Systems Bioligist.

Omission by convenience has become the language of the media and those too weak and unprepared to argue their viewpoints against centuries of scientific consensus.

Sundar Pichai's reaction was also flawed...he mistook 'neuroticism' for 'neurotic' and asserted the memo called women neurotic.

Being neurotic is hardly an insult in the first place, it's a reversible state of mind. But searching "google + neurotic" showed that a significant number of news outlets made the same convenient mistake as Sundar Pichai. It's not like their reader base would be aware of the actual definition or bother to look it up. It sounds like a bad word so it is.

http://diversitymemo.com is its webpage version for better experience.

...when it comes to diversity and inclusion, Google’s left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence. This silence removes any checks against encroaching extremist and authoritarian policies.

to a conservative/right-winger, isn't this authoritarian environment supposed to be comfortable?
