zygga··on Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo
>both the left, the feminist movement, and the right fanned the flame against male teachers

I find it hard to believe that this would be generally true. Source?

Edit: obviously you're always going to have some twats doing things like that, but that's true for everything. I'm looking for evidence that it's more than average here.

Almost half of Googlers are non-white, more so than the general population of the USA. How is Google lacking diversity?

(I know the answer, but that kind of blanket statements are ridiculous)

Yes, most professors of the subject matter who have expressed their opinions agree: http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-memo-four-scientists-...

The link you provided is no exception, as the writer is not a professor; while that's obviously an arbitrary distinction, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Also, it's incredibly you seem to equate the people supporting Damore with the person himself.

The claims of sexism in this article are shaky, at best. A programmer created a memo about how the small proportion of women in programming is likely to be due to biology, Google fired them, and that's somewhow supposed to prove that there's a "toxic bro culture"? A memo, which most professors of the subject matter seem to mostly agree with... which makes its vilification questionable.
