James Damore, a male software engineer at Google wrote a 10-page
"manifesto" criticizing his employer for pushing diversity programs.
Damore said women can't get ahead in the tech industry because of
biological differences with men. The memo went public and created a
social media storm.
While Damore was fired, a huge online debate continues about gender
stereotyping and free speech in the workplace. It's highlighting the low
numbers of women and minorities in technology companies while exposing
attitudes encountered by women working in tech.
