Earlier this summer, an online firestorm broke out when a controversial memo written by a Google employee went viral. In it, a male staffer attacked the corporate diversity programs that are attempting to close the gender gap in the company, where 80 percent of its technical workers are men.

Silicon Valley has a long rap sheet when it comes to incidents that appear to discriminate against women. But the Google memo has created a particularly loud uproar. Though its author defended what he wrote as free speech, he was fired from Google for violating the company’s code of conduct by “advancing harmful gender stereotypes.” After his ouster, he was embraced by several far-right media outlets and took to wearing T-shirts that said “Goolag” and “Truth.”
