Special snowflake sues for a safe space

quote [ James Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired in August after posting a memo to an internal Google message board arguing that women may not be equally represented in tech because they are biologically less capable of engineering, has filed a class action lawsuit against the company in Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California.

His claims: that Google unfairly discriminates against white men whose political views are unpopular with its executives. ]

The look on his poor lawyer's face.

I mean, curiously you don't hear nearly the same clamour on the other end of the spectrum. Have a look around university campuses and try to find the support seminars, motivational conferences, and general cheerleading antics desperately trying to woo more men into occupations like Speech Language Pathology, Special Education, or Occupational Therapy. Is it because society has somehow pressured men out of these jobs, or is it simply that they are jobs that few men have the right combination of interest and aptitude to do?

Is it because society has somehow pressured men out of these jobs, or is it simply that they are jobs that few men have the right combination of interest and aptitude to do? Would you think someone was an asshole for suggesting that there are probably just actually fewer men than women who find this work rewarding or interesting?
