"charismatically-challenged unfortunates like Damore"

Maybe I am on the autistic spectrum, or ots teh fact I studied science but i thought that Damore's memo was fairly well written. First time I went through it he made a couple of points where I though to myself "that sounds controversial", but then in every case he had backed it up with some study validating it to some extent.

It was certainly a lot better written than the majority of the media's reporting on it.

That's kind of the scary part. People are reading it, yet the media can't mention it without it calling it an "anti-diversity screed." If that memo is almost universally mischaracterized and smeared, then the arguments simply can't feasibly be made. The chilling effect is real.

I agree, his memo was a lot more reasonable than how it was depicted in the news (whether we agree with it or not). However I watched a couple of video interviews and concur on "charismatically challenged". For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9hh47dqeI
