The damage was done. Other female employees were already complaining that they didn't want to work with him and that's fair on their part IMO.
If you're a white man, would you want to work alongside someone who believes you to be biologically inferior and easily rattled by stress? Probably not.
Even if Google has to settle out of court it's easily worth it to prevent more spread of poor PR ... they are a company that makes products after all that are used by a lot of women (go figure) and that kind of toxic PR would've likely led to a boycott of their products/services if Google did not act. And that is the free market. People can vote with their wallets, and when over 50% of the marketplace is women, you better bet your ass that group carries a lot of sway.
