He was not fired for stating a viewpoint, he was fired because his statements (not based in science) is hostile. [/quote]

Are there no studies which support his claims with respect to traits?  If studies exist, then the science exists.  There may be a consensus or there might not be a consensus, but that does not mean that there is no science there which supports his position.

Look for a meta analysis (a study of studies) with regards to trait distribution,  they exist. Take a look and let me know what you will find (you might not like it).

Do you deny that women are more likely to be diagnosed with neurosis of some kind and receive treatment?  Is that statement factually incorrect?

Do you deny that women are not socialized to promote certain traits and reduce certain traits?

The question of course is wether or not women who work at google possess these traits, to which Damore is unlikely to be able to prove either way, but certainly can provide evidence for the general population.

Everything you say there is a negative stereotype based on gender.  That's not appropriate to express in the workplace (unless you happen to be a gender stereotype researcher).  The standard for racial/gender harassment under the law is not "can I pull some crappy ass, non-replicable social science study out to support my viewpoint?"  It's "is this a gender-based statement that creates a hostile work environment for women."  Damore (and yourself) are free to debate the "science" ALL you want on your own time (you're wrong, BTW) but it's not ok to  go around making statements about how women are biologically unsuited to the job and leadership at work.
