Another memo to screw

"I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender
roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another
member of their group (tribalism)."
To be fair, the rest of his memo was wildly unpolished and was filled with sloppy writing and language. Clearly this guy is a much better developer than he is a writer or scientist. His writing trips over itself throughout the memo, and his clear lack of editing and refinement of his ideas led him into a series of conflicting statements, plenty of which left the door open for the boot to his ass.
With that said, I think he was trying to communicate some very valid ideas and, unfortunately, fell victim to his own incompetence in expressing them in a clear, scientific, and objective way.
