Full title: Google’s ‘left-wing bias has alienated its own workers’: Senior engineer claims colleagues with right-wing views are forced to keep them ‘in the closet’

Some other sources (guess which way they lean) are calling this an “anti-diversity manifesto”.

His arguments that men have a higher drive for status and women are “more prone to anxiety” triggered an angry backlash on social media with demands for the author to be fired.

The causes of the backlash are twofold:

1) A lot of the men want him fired because they think if guys like this lose their job, it might help them move up to more prestigious positions.
2) A lot of the women want him fired because guys like him make them really nervous and worried.

Every job I’ve ever had the males worked far harder/longer than the females in the work place. The memo writer is correct: it’s due to human biology.

Well, duh.

This is the company that ignores Easter for Cesar Chavez, and seems to promote some gay or diversity crap on its homepage every other week.

I read the entire "manifesto".

99% of the claims made by the MSM are absolutely wrong.

It isn't even a manifesto. It is just a series of somewhat related observations and recommendations. I think the MSM is calling it a manifesto so they can claim this guy is no better than the Unabomber.

What he says is no different than what Jordan Peterson has been saying. Nowhere does he call women neurotic.

Reading the "manifesto" you can see how the guy is constantly walking on eggshells and being very careful to say exactly what he means and no more.

Yet if all you knew was what was reported by the MSM you'd think this guy was a misogynistic prick who just rambled on against women.

MSM: Lies, damned Lies, and faulty statistics.

Google is owned and operated by the state. The state is liberal. Ergo conservatives need not apply.

It is so refreshing to see Danielle, a VP, yet, practice the diversity of thought and inclusions of stimulating ideas that she is paid to proclaim.

My take away on this is that the whole Google culture is NUTZ, and notwithstanding some impressive tech achievements, it is shooting poison into its veins with this kind of toxic rigidity.

The intolerance of conservatives is tempting to pick up and defend, but if you do so without clarifying (and even if you do) you will basically paint all conservatives as knuckle-dragging idiots, thanks to the rest of this guy’s rant.

This is where we are now, in a world of pink and blue, with an increasingly long list of characteristics stereotyped as either one “gender” or another instead of being common property. This impulse to categorize everything (OK, it IS Google!) only adds fuel to the cultural dumpster fire that is currently enabling gender reassignment to begin in elementary school!

The conservative angle needs to be uncoupled from the rest of it because most of what he says doesn’t pass muster as conservative. Instead, he is overreaching and playing right into Leftist thought.

It’s just one of those rules of modern political discourse that the ones who preach diversity are also the ones who want to crush dissent.
