I did read the entire memo after its release. Up until yesterday I believed that Mr. Damore had good intentions by trying to highlight an emerging threat to Google's culture. But his execution was poor because he literally said "women are wired differently therefore they have a harder time leading, earning more and doing engineering jobs.

The mistake he made was confounding 'Google has a culture issue' with 'gender diversity issues' in tech. If he said, "Efforts to promote diversity are good because discrimination caused by biases and institutional/cultural oppression is bad. You know what else is bad creating a culture that stifles and vilifies dissenting opinions causing them to be too afraid to speak up" then he probably would have been OK and opened the door to some constructive internal dialogue.

But by focusing so much of his argument on gender issues (something which it doesn't appear he is qualified to give sermons on) he lost credibility and comes across as naive and bigoted
