The piece came off to me as somebody looking for a way to be offended. She criticizes Damore and Google but doesn't point out what is lacking in Damore argument and instead of showing why google is wrong, her argument makes me realize how bad of a PR position google really is in. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

> but doesn't point out what is lacking in Damore argument

I think it's because this article is about Google, not Damore. I;m sure if she really wanted to talk about Damore's arguments, the article would have to be far longer and her main argument watered down.

Don't you think though if google had really dived into the science they'd have just opened themselves up to even more criticism than handling it the way they did?

If their only goal is to avoid criticism, not even stopping at breaking California law in order to do so, then they're well deserving of being sued. At some point they need to either be intellectually honest and ethical or pay the price, given their motto has always been an explicit claim to the paragon of virtue.
