Do you have a source of him confirming it? Genuinely curious. I'm just going off of his interview with Joe Rogan.

>Damore has confirmed to multiple outlets that he was terminated for “perpetuating gender stereotypes.”

Ok thanks, I think I misunderstood what you were saying.

I thought you meant that he went on record saying something like "I'm perpetuating gender stereotypes".

Instead, it looks like he's just confirmed that Google thought he was perpetuating gender stereotypes, and that's what he was fired for, which is no surprise.

It doesn't really matter what he thinks he did, because NLRB deemed it a legal reason for firing him. It's not unique to Google, and considering he's suing for discrimination against white conservative men I don't think his lawyer would let him say something like that anyways.

I mean, he did go on record saying "I'm perpetuating gender stereotypes" by virtue of writing that memo.
