The Google Memo’s 50 Shades of Grey: New at Reason

James Damore, the author of the Google memo, has become a hero for the right, because as conservatives see it he spoke truth to corporate power when he said GoogleMJMonty via Foter.comthat sexual differences would doom the company’s diversity efforts to close the gender gap. He has become a villain for the left because as liberals see it he is downplaying the role sexism plays in the gender gap.

Both sides are half right and half wrong, notes Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia.
