My general impression is that because Damore is a big fat nobody whose career has already been flushed down the toilet by these events, it is a popular discussion to have precisely because it is relatively safe for anyone to give their 2 cents worth and explore how to talk about extremely divisive topics that can be quite dangerous to try to talk about. Kind of like it is popular to mock the Gor books because it is a safe way to express opinions about gender issues where it would not be safe to talk about actual real life situations where society expects women to be submissive and deferential.

So I really don't expect such discussions to be high quality. I think it has merit that it can happen at all, but my feeling is that much of the discussion swirling around the Damore memo is training wheels level discussion.
