Meta comment, a lot of comments here are not as measured, accurate, or carefully worded as the Damore "memo".

Damore was sacked for his memo. Well, arguably he was sacked for people (at his workplace, using company resources and time) making disingenuous and vicious attacks on him (often misrepresented what he actually said), far less accurate or polite or measured than anything Damore said, creating enough of an internal activist movement that the boss had to cancel his trip to the Maldives IIRC.

Damore lost credibility in my eyes when he lied about being chess national master. Such a bold and egregious lie
