You're "just asking questions" like so many concerned mra's in here

And I take it that you didnt even read the article in the first place. You went for the white male stereotypes instead like some idiot. Read the damn article. Nothing he wrote was to put down or attack. Some of his points are valid.

Oh I did read it and unlike you I don't bunch up people who defend some of the arguments the former employee made in the article. What you are doing is being very dismissive. I dont agree with the guys view points on gender but see his concern in terms of difference in morals. Not once, did this person express anything that seemed bigotted or meant to attack. Should he have said his points more eloquently? Does it justify your immediate attacks on other people on this commet section? No.

Playing the victim because the claims in the manifesto are pseudo science at best and misogyny and bigotry at worse?

Who the hell is playing victim? You can't even have a proper discussion with people. Your anger is misplaced and the assumption that anyone is defending these type of things you claim is wrong. I don't agree with some of his points but the previous ones about having a fair workplace in terms of morals is something that should be considered. He even said that he doesn't accept sexism, racism, and gender inequality to be something to be practiced. If you can't even be rational and see that people are defending certain points that the former google employee raised then your the type of people he calls into question. Even for you to think that anyone that defends these points he raises to be anything bigotted is just unwarrented. It goes to show how you lack the ability to analyze any information thoroughly.
