It's a shame that Google cannot simply admit that different genders have different strengths and weaknesses for a variety of reasons, and simply move on.  Men and women are different, that's just biological reality.  And those differences are reflected as well in the types of jobs and roles each typically fulfills.  Yes, men and women can to one degree or another do most of each other's typical jobs or tasks, but that does not mean that on average they are equally suited to every task (e.g., women do not play professional football, and men do not carry babies internally, etc., etc., etc., etc....); it's just not reality to claim that men and women are identically suited, but it is the message that politically-correct (read morally-retarded liberals) continually try to push, and in the end that lie actually harms rather than helps society, and the harm occurs at many levels.  Google was wrong to fire this employee, and should instead have simply agreed to disagree if necessary.
