How on Earth can you say that?
The standards applied to Damore are ridiculous and would be considered openly discriminatory and harassing if applied to the women you are so eagerly defending.
Did Damore refer to them as "bitchgrammers"? Do their writings get leaked and misrepresented to the press, who then strips them of their links and fans the flames? Do they lose their jobs for bringing honest citations to the table?
No, in fact, they can apparently just claim to be made to feel "unsafe" by a memo responding to official company workshops, and decide to stay home, with no repercussions. Their opinion pieces are lauded as brave, and they are rubber stamped as important evidence and valid lived experience even if made up 100% of anecdotes.
Well if that's the level of fragility that is the norm, then what Damore went through amounts to a human rights atrocity. But of course, displaying an ounce of empathy for a "cis white man" is no longer fashionable, and I can already hear the chuckles and hollering from the Bay Area all the way here to Europe at the mere suggestion.
Discrimination is equality, heartlessness is sympathy, fragility is strength, ... It boggles the mind how this is not black on white obvious, no pun intended.
