    TL:DR

    Google’s political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety, but shaming into silence is the antithesis of psychological safety.

    This silencing has created an ideological echo chamber where some ideas are too sacred to be honestly discussed.

    The lack of discussion fosters the most extreme and authoritarian elements of this ideology.

    Extreme: all disparities in representation are due to oppression
    Authoritarian: we should discriminate to correct for this oppression

    Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership. Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business.
