Well thanks ALEXANDRA EUL for your slap-down on this "Google guy".

Funny [Sarcasm Alert!] though, that you've misrepresented what he was saying. But yes, I know, as a Feminist, if you do 'nose-counting' and discover 'fewer females than males', there can be only one explanation for this, which is 'Sexism'. And you can say that and not worry about being fired and, indeed, a major newspaper will provide you with column space to do so. 

Of course the poor "Google guy", citing some research managed to get himself fired for 'Not Towing the Company Line'. And sure, you can debate the validity of what he cited (and I suspect the whole issue is still very much a matter of debate, that being the case for a lot of 'Social Science' research). And sure, the "Google guy" should have known his company really wasn't serious about have "open debates" about things. (I guess that's called 'Learning the Hard Way')

But this is really about how the debate is over and people need to shut up. Or else.
