The downside to becoming wildly successful and influential in a culture is you begin to come under far more scrutiny from that culture.

This is a deeply disingenuous interpretation of events, to the extent of being a lie.
Damore, Woods, and that other dude who went on a misogynist Twitter tirade for a full day, were all deliberate assholes in public. There were consequences for that. This is just and correct.

Could you please provide a link to anything that Damore might have written or said in public that would justify calling him an asshole? Because I have read his paper, listened to some of his interviews and to me he looked as far from an asshole as any human can be.

He also never intended to be public about it, he kept his memo internal and posted it in a place that was soliciting feedback on the topic. It only became public when one of the activist types leaked it.

Please provide citations of him lying, or misogynist Twitter tirades.

Which part is a lie?
You're right though, what we just saw with the linux foundations tone policing and the Lindsay Shepherd situation absolutely confirm this. There is a very effective group of activists that can make life hell for you if you don't hate the same things as them with the same fervor.
