It’s Long Past Time To End All Discrimination Policies And Restore Equal Protection Ultimately, federal law places every employer and employee in the same no-win situation as Google: lawsuit if you don't have enough protected class employees, lawsuit if you try overtly to hire them. By Joy Pullmann
August 10, 2017 Hardly a day goes by without some new identity politics incident that pits members of one group against another group. These incidents are typically manipulated to inflame people’s tribalism, divided along Marxist lines by sex, race, class, and more, into yet another battle of collective wills. Underneath it all, we have a society ostensibly “dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal.” Although such rhetoric still stirs every American’s heart, it is no longer true. In America, both in private and government institutions, some are “more equal than others.”
The hottest such dispute this week is over a former Google engineer’s internal memo suggesting biological differences between the sexes contribute to their different professional choices. He was fired for “perpetuating gender stereotypes,” which may have been an attempt at legal defense for Google since they have been battling a federal lawsuit alleging sex discrimination against women.
Perceived Discrimination Versus Actual DiscriminationThe former engineer’s discussion memo caught Google between a rock and a hard place, because the feds demand Google cough up data about how many women they employ and what they are paid and take the mere existence of a higher male population as evidence of sexism. James Damore suggested if anything Google discriminates against men in its hiring practices. It’s a battle between outcome discrimination and process discrimination, and Google can’t win.
