This is why you finally give up on the verge? What would you refer to the memo as: a cool-headed rational argument? I don't even think the engineer understood what he was arguing for; misogyny isn't hard to see, regardless of the intentions.

The weirdest and most uncomfortable part is that he cares enough to alienate his employees, but not enough to encourage productive discussion. It seems like bitterness and resentment towards women.

While I understand why you might not like the phrasing, it speaks deeply about you that this is the one of thousands of verge factual errors you choose to criticize.

Facts are never innocent and pure, they always come tainted with opinion. What you choose to emphasize, how you say it and so on is loaded not because people have poor intentions but because language is a limited medium.

Eg, did you hear about the poor innocent statue conservationists who got caught up in a bad situation?
