And this is why I said that I'm not going to change your mind.

The gender bias is clear in individual experience and data, all it takes is talking to women (or people of colour, or whatever under represented group you want) to see it.

I think Google does pretty well on this, largely due to the diversity programs that Damore was calling to have abolished.

And what is that data? Again you've referenced data or evidence for anti-female bias, and yet again you neglect to share it.

Data could definitely change my mind: what percentage of applicants to software developer roles at Google are women, and what percentage of offers extended for those roles go to women? If the former is substantially smaller than the latter, that would definitely sway me.
