The Google employee memo, which gained attention online over the
weekend, begins by saying that only honest discussion will address a
lack of equity. But it also asserts that women “prefer jobs in social
and artistic areas” while more men “may like coding because it requires
systemizing.”
We also prefer kneeing misogynistic assholes in the groin. Or was that too honest for you?
Explains all the knitting and baking… he can’t have met todays Danish women, they will, in no uncertain terms, tell you, what you can do…
"…women “prefer jobs in social and artistic areas” while more men “may like coding because it requires systemizing.”
And that explains why men interrupt and talk over women in meetings, exclude from informal gatherings, mentoring, and job recommendations. It also explains the differences between project opportunities offered to women and those offered to men.
There is nothing “honest” about this dude’s “honest discussion”. His arguments prove that he is an inobservant idiot.
Anyone who spent 4 years studying engineering didn’t prefer a job in a social or artistic area. I feel sorry for his female subordinates (if any) and daughters.
Seeing that Google’s CEO is Indian-American, reminded me I was talking with my parents and inlaws Sunday and my dad made some comment about how smart and tech savvy folks from India are and all I could think is, oh well for an 87 year old white guy he’s been a lot less prejudice than he could have been during my lifetime.
He’s right, though. A woman’s place is in the home…
…directory of the systems he used to support, fixing up his shitty code.
I like how his screed included (paraphrasing) “Google probably won’t even allow me to say what I’m saying”. Now he and all the alt-right MRA douchebags get to proclaim that he was proven correct by his firing.
