An interesting read for sure. I think a big issue is the employer feels the woman can't handle the balance of work/home/parenting without a breakdown somewhere in the chain. And many can't without one of those things suffering. But not all, and that's where his idea of dealing with each person as an individual and not as a group, in this case the group is women. Not all women are the same at all, and being stereotyped is maddening.

As far as him being fired. It's crap. I had to laugh when I read the statement at the end by the new VP of Diversity, Integrity and Governance. "Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws."

So, I guess their CoC has nothing on sitting a guy down and talking about what just happened. They just straight up fire him. Their culture reminds me of that of the fictional social media company in the book, The Circle.
