In this case, you satisfy the group that spends disproportionate amounts of time weaponizing social media, activists, and blog journalists for their cause.

I don’t have a good answer. But at that point some kind of outside discussion facilitation is probably necessary.

What's the most human narrative you're welling to place on Damore, that he might agree with? I'll try to think up a few...

1) Damore may have felt just as uncomfortable as his coworkers with what was being said, just in the opposite direction.

2) Damore, being a little spectrumy, attempted to derive an answer to a question about gender inequality in a cold and rational way, having no understanding that what he wrote would upset people. That's not the same as suggesting what he wrote is "correct." Correctness is irrelevant. As a person also on the spectrum, I can relate to this happening all.the.time. It's very difficult to understand what will upset people if you don't already have a mental rule about it. And rules are narrow.

I can agree with #2 - I don’t believe he saw this memo as being particularly political or as an attack against anyone.
