YOU AREN'T GETTING IT.  You don't have carte blanch to express your "alternative viewpoint" at work, if that "alternative viewpoint" involves advancing harmful, gender-based stereotypes about women or minorities.  You just don't.  Under the law there in fact IS one correct viewpoint: advancing harmful stereotypes about women in the workplace, and basing workplace policies on these stereotypes, is unlawful.  And that's exactly what Damore did:  advanced several negative, gender-based stereotypes, and called for Google to change its policies to conform to those stereotypes.  His publication of the essay alone may or may not have constituted actionable gender-based harassment under the law, but Google was certainly justified in terminating him for it, as he had shown himself to be insubordinate and now incapable of working with women.

You do realize he wrote this on a private Google plus forum and it got leaked out? It wasn't a public post.
