Thought experiment: had Damnore made the same assertions about race, then not only would he have been fired but likely prosecuted as well - and rightly so. Because there is no evidence of differential cognitive abilities that are biologically determined and associated with "race", or only evidence from crackpot, fringe science. It would be preposterous for anyone to suggest that east Asians and Indians are biologically hardwired for math and computer science and to use this to explain their  over representation in the STEM fields. Their great success (overcoming, make no mistake,  deep rooted, racial bias against them) is generally attributed to social environmental factors. However, there IS a large corpus of MAINSTREAM literature that supports Danmore on gender. I'm not necessarily saying that it's correct - it may be hooey- but it does mean he deserves to be refuted and not liquidated.
