Pseudoscience? Women generally are not cut out for the tech industry. It is a fact.

Damore never said women are not cut out for engineering. He said there are biological reasons why men prefer systems(engineering) and women prefer socializing jobs (nursing)

I think he was even careful not to make those claims, but to consider the idea a possibility. He was fired at the mere mention of an idea that is likely 100% true. The thought police made an example of him.

I am aware of that. I was referring specifically to that line though - it is a fact, even if he didn't personally say that.

That's not even Damore's argument so maybe that's why it's psuedoscience?
