Ever since Google decided to purge a conservative engineer for suggesting new approaches to get women involved in coding by tailoring them to gender differences, a parade of Mountain View minions and flunkies has been trotted out to a sympathetic media to make the case for their oppression.
Next up is YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. She's been oppressed and is defiantly courageous in the midst of her oppression. No one will keep her down, etc...
"When I saw the memo that circulated last week, I once again felt that pain, and empathized with the pain it must have caused others."
Somewhere in the middle of her agonizing pain, she wedges in the reason for her wining. That her bosses purged an employee for an opinion. A politely expressed opinion meant to help the company and get more women involved in coding.
But it's a taboo opinion.
"Some of those responding to the memo are trying to defend its authorship as an issue of free speech. As a company that has long supported free expression, Google obviously stands by the right that employees have to voice, publish or tweet their opinions. But while people may have a right to express their beliefs in public, that does not mean companies cannot take action."
You have free speech. Until we take it away from you.
According to Susan Wojcicki, "What if we replaced the word “women” in the memo with another group? What if the memo said that biological differences amongst Black, Hispanic, or LGBTQ employees explained their underrepresentation in tech and leadership roles?"
So we've now reached the point in which mentions of biological gender differences is officially a hate crime. Or at least a basis for being fired. Right up there with mentioning racial differences.
What a brave new world the left is leading us to.
