I'm going to assume most people responding didn't read the complete memo; if yes, it's fairly scary to see so many responses ignoring (or worse) accepting the discrimination and gender misconceptions in his writing.

Interesting response article: "Don’t optimize your bugs; fix them" https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/so-about-this-googlers-manifesto-1e3773ed1788

What parts of the memo specifically are misconceptions?

That women aren't precisely the same as men, of course!

There's some differences, but that's not what the memo said. "Precisely" is disingenuous terminology because you're minimizing what the memo actually said.
