glorkk··on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
You can take any statement and rephrase so that it sounds horrible. This is just sophistry.

Nowhere does the author say we "shouldn't support women becoming software engineers". His argument is simply that women are, on average, less inclined to become software engineers because of innate psychological differences, which explains the unbalanced gender ratio in tech. He suggests we should stop all forms of "positive" discrimination in the form of employment quotas that are aimed to correct the gender imbalance, and instead select individuals based on their merit.

How can you write an article about a document you have never read? It is a disgrace this Vice/Motherboard article is the first result on Google. This is not a news article, but a biased blog with a blatant political agenda.

Why so pessimistic? We're clearly better at survival than tardigrades which can't build space stations or sequence their own DNA...
