The memo was very balanced in my opinion and didn't say anything that could be considered hate speech. What I find shocking is that you can get fired or attacked these days merely for suggesting that men and women are different and have different interests. Politicians have tried for years now to get more women into STEM and computer science and it doesn't work. Even in feminist countries like Sweden, women are - on average - a lot less interested in these things than men.

And what's the problem with that? Diversity means people are different, not all people are the same. We should respect people for who they are and not try to make everyone the same. What's so progressive or fair or, hell, liberal about men and women being represented 50/50 in... well, everything? That sounds an awful lot like communism to me. Let people be free and make their own choices and don't discriminate against diversity of thought. Men like women because women are different. And women like men because men are different. It's like the most basic aspect of the human experience.
Heck, it's especially companies like Google that should embrace sexual differences. The whole concept of modern computing is based on the work of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and it's such a beautiful tale of the many ways women and men compliment each other.
