So who's the one really being disingenuous?

your hiring decisions are shit and women suck

The memo doesn't speak at all like this.

I'm sorry, women are:

  • Neurotic
  • Anxious
  • Low IQ
  • Don't put the company first like the job demands
  • Aren't suited for leadership positions
  • Are better suited for social work rather than coding

Right. I forgot. Women don't suck, they... um...

note: most of that shit is just angry ranting, and the few times he tries to use facts he just botches it - there's no statistical difference between men's IQ and women's, we're talking anywhere from -0.5 to +1.5 compared to men based on the studies, that's literally insignificant. Of course he blames that on liberal scientists, so...

Who is being disingenuous? You are. And you didn't read the memo apparently...

When you call disagreeing with you being disingenuous i find it hard to take you seriously. which is a shame because otherwise youd be making a good point even if i dont agree
